Workshop
A poetry workshop on language and the many selves we carry across it
Facilitated by Anna Fuchs
For people who have moved between countries, languages, cultures, or stages of life, some experiences seem to exist between words. This workshop uses poetry as a practice of observation, reflection, and close attention to language — exploring how different languages can hold different versions of the self. No previous experience of poetry is required.

The Idea
“When I think of raspberries, I picture bright, uniform fruit on a supermarket shelf. Himbeeren are different — smaller, softer, growing in my mother’s garden in Germany. The dictionary translated the word just fine. My memory did not.”
