Sign up for our free workshop as a part of the Deptford Literature Festival in partnership with Friends of Brookmill Park. We’ll be holding a session that offers an opportunity to engage with texts that focus primarily on African and Caribbean ecological histories, knowledge and contributions. We will use texts by authors such Malidome Some, Bell Hooks, Melanie Harris, Kukuwa Abba, Judith Carney and Robin Wall Kimmerer as well as archive materials to explore our relationships with the land. We hope it will be a rich morning of exploration and meaningful exchange together.
