6:00 pm – 6:45 pm – Creative Writing Workshop (Union 119)<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Language of Liberation – a poetic workshop where we will write, reflect, and uncover our understanding of liberation. Through guided prompts, intimate discussions, and creative exercises, we\u2019ll explore the barriers that bind us and our writing, and discover how poetry can become a tool for healing and untying the knots of oppression. This workshop invites you to reflect on how poetry is an act of resistance, whether you\u2019re liberating yourself from fear, generational cycles, or simply seeking to define freedom on your own terms. Join us to listen, share, and explore the power of your own words.<\/span><\/p>\n
