@SabynJaveri @yeisilcarolina Onto the second part of the event — a workshop on Sustainable Writing Practices! ✍🏻
Q&A time with @SabynJaveri & @yeisilcarolina! 🎤
We’re kicking off our next event, ‘Sabyn Javeri in Conversation with the North Modern and Contemporary Network’, at @ToonLibraries! 📚 @SabynJaveri
“Storytelling doesn’t have to belong to one tradition. These are stories that we tell ourselves. Sometimes we have to outrun them.” “What are the stories you’ve been told to carry? What are the stories have you never dared to write?”
“Being human isn’t about living in the stories that are handed to us, but rewriting them.” 📝 “Translation has become a way back in for me. I’m interested in the tales from the kitchen table. In these stories, I sense something radical.”
She cites Carol Ann Duffy, Toni Morrison, Audre Lorde (and others), as key inspirations — they “reached into silence and found voices.” Sabyn started to think, ‘could I write something like this, too?’
A reminder we are hosting Sabyn Javeri at the Newcastle City Library this 3rd July. All welcome!
We are really looking forward to hosting our first event at @ToonLibraries with author, writer, and academic @SabynJaveri supported by Northern Bridge Consortium and @NorthEnglishes Sign up here: shorturl.at/7A6w4 @BACLS_official @EuroCompLit @ModConDurham @NCL_English
