a kindness/ we all must extend to each other in this game 💌 Sat 14 June

‘are you prepared/ to hide someone in your home indefinitely’, begins Diane di Prima’s Revolutionary Letter #14. Beginning in 1968, poet and radical activist di Prima began writing a series of ‘revolutionary letters’ circulated through free sheets and street performance. Inspired by di Prima’s political urgency and utopian vision, this workshop will involve reading texts from di Prima, June Jordan and others connecting politics and culture, before taking part in some writing exercises designed to bridge freedom dreams with the urgent demand for action.
