Writer D Mortimer will discuss their approach to writing, exploring how autobiography, collage and drawing can be used to explore trans crip narratives. Participants will be encouraged to think about hybrid forms of writing which do not necessarily include writing. How do our non normative bodies and individual experiences inform the work we make? And how might formal experimentation in language develop critical perspectives on transness and disability through pleasure and play? Workshop attendees will be invited to make their own work during the workshop and there will be an opportunity to share with the group.
