Spoken Truths; a workshop for and by spoken word artists

Welcome to Spoken Truths; a workshop for and by spoken word artists.

 

A workshop by spiritchild and  Fatih about the power of the Word in understanding, shaping  and resisting our political realities. In two sessions, participants will first be introduced to the hip-hop movement in relation to migration and social justice around the globe, and second, they will be invited to write and perform their own texts, guided by experienced and renouned mentors.

 

This workshop comes in the context of Fatemeh Khezri's residency at Digidaar. Drawing from her work,  titled Perceptual Other, where she explores Afghan oral literature, this workshop aims to showcase the people's need for words, be it poetry, rap or storytelling, in order to preserve culture and resist the daily injustices they face. 

 

Inspired by the freestyle essence of Hip-Hop, this workshop is no regular classroom but rather an open stage to meet, learn, perform, listen, speak up, and be heard. Participants of all levels are very welcome to join! 

 

Kindly,

DIGIDAAR team
