Join Jaspreet Kaur, spoken word artist, writer and award-winning author of Brown Girl Like Me. She has presented a TEDx London Talk on ‘How Poetry Saved My Life’, exploring how the power of words gave her the confidence to overcome her own mental health struggles. This session will not only provide students insight into how Jaspreet managed her mental health struggle, but also enable you to see the possibilities of language in shaping and creating meaning.
Poetry as sound, detached from meaning will be the starting point and source of inspiration. We will focus on experimenting with words and practice in writing poetry related to belonging, culture, identities and Partition.
Limited signed copies of Jaspreet Kaur’s amazing book Brown Girl Like Me will be available for sale
