'Writing Resilience Online Workshop' with Alessia Galatini

​

This 90 minute writing workshop will focus on reconnecting with our bodies and our minds through words. It's both an exploration of and an homage to the resilience that has carried us through these countless lockdowns. Through writing prompts and cues, participants will be invited to write poetry and prose inspired by identity, connection and perseverance. No writing experience required and sharing is always voluntary and welcome. 

​

Alessia Galatini is a London-based writer and filmmaker. She is originally from Italy. After graduating with a BA in Creative Writing and an MA in Screenwriting, Alessia went on to become a published writer, film journalist, director and screenwriter.

Her short stories and poetry have appeared on international magazines such as Luna Station Quarterly and Rabbit Hole Magazine. She is particularly interested in developing cutting-edge, genre-bending and inclusive LGBT and feminist narratives told from unexpected characters.
