Poetics of Testimony and Witness

This workshop considers how poetry can hold the pressures of community, war, and speculative futures. Led by Ayesha Hameed, a London-based artist and writer whose work often engages with histories of displacement and the politics of remembering, the workshop invites everyone to explore the ways in which language’s own limits can become part of a poetic practice, and to consider how the silences at the limits can become sites of speculation and witness.
