Let me count the ways
Event Information
About this Event
This workshop will explore counting and naming the losses we’ve experienced throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and how it transforms using different languages, drawing on the participants’ knowledge and outside inputs. We will find ways to count the people, experiences and things we have missed or lost over the past year and n our sharing of loss, we will try to find ways to count the gains. We will share our experiences through words in all our languages, and you will go home with ideas for remembering and sharing your stories and losses.
Come along and be ready to share and learn different ways of counting objects and measuring time.
This is part of the 6-week workshop Remaking of Life. Check out the full programme: https://mothertonguesfestival.com/remaking-of-life/
