This Pride month, MAP in collaboration with Piravi Art Community is hosting a workshop and poetry showcase as part of the programme series Redefining Queerscapes.
In times of distress and chaos, how do you find hope, support, solidarity, expression, joy and celebration? Poetry can be a resource and respite. Join us as we create a safe container to welcome our authentic expressions and support each other in claiming-reclaiming-celebrating our beautiful selves through the craft of poetry. We will invite explorations of gender, sexuality, disability, distress, grief, solidarity and more in an immersive way working with mindfulness and presence-oriented practices, writing prompts, group sharing, blackout poetry and more.
Following the workshop, we are inviting published poets from the queer community in Bangalore and the workshop participants to perform their pieces as part of Shabda – an open mic for LGBTQIA+ peeps as part of the Namma Pride events. There will be a five-minute slot for each performer. Additionally, the showcase is a free-to-participate event but requires interested poets to share their pieces with us in advance. We welcome poetry across genres and languages!
Note: This workshop is for LGBTQIA+ individuals only. The workshop is followed by a poetry showcase which is open to allies as well.
This workshop will be facilitated by Raju Behara and SG Aishwarya from Piravi Art Community. The poetry showcase will be facilitated by Rohini Malur from Shabda.
