All The Things Poetry Workshop with Arji Manuelpillai
Play isn’t only about laughter and smiles, for some artists it’s a way to engage with some of the most challenging feelings we experience.
Poet Arji Manuelpillai has over 20 years experience of working in prisons, schools, refugee camps and beyond, using language and creative play to inspire participants to explore words in new ways. Through poetry, participants can find playful approaches to difficult emotions and discover new forms of expression and connection.
During this workshop, we will explore some of those difficult emotions including sadness, loss and isolation which are part of our shared human experience. Arji will guide participants to discuss, connect, empathise, create and read poems inspired by these themes.
This activity is free, but please book in advance. Please only book to attend one session. This activity is for those aged 18+ only.
Arji is completing an Associate Artist residency at Orleans House Gallery as part of the All The Things exhibition.
