Join award-winning poet Jenny Mitchell for creative sessions inspired by a range of vibrant materials from Senate House Library’s Caribbean and Black History Collections.
Participants will be given imaginative prompts to inspire poetry about the objects in the collection and our own emotions when thinking about the path to independence of several Caribbean colonies.
We’ll explore aspects of the Caribbean diaspora in Britain, and the way successive changes to immigration and nationality laws culminated in the ‘Windrush’ scandal.
Participants will also have special access to objects that include rare pamphlets, posters, newspapers, comics and badges.
The workshops are open to new and experienced writers, and they will be completely non-judgemental spaces.
