A creative writing workshop exploring the relationship between language, desire and representation. It is led by the Tamil London-based writer and poet Gayathiri Kamalakanthan, a recipient of the Poetry Archive Prize and the Disabled Poets Prize. Participants respond with guided prompts and reflective exercises to Autograph's exhibition Charan Singh: Your Tongue in My Mouth, which examines how South Asian queer narratives have been obscured and reshaped by colonial legacies. The ticket includes materials, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds.
