The Nikkei National Museum and Cultural Centre is inviting everyone to join in a writing workshop on Saturday, Jan. 27.
Jeff Tanaka leads the workshop, called Speaking With Spirits, from 1 to 5 p.m. No writing experience is necessary to take part in the workshop, in which participants will look to ancestors, plants and the land for guidance and inspiration.
“Workshop participants will be offered collaborative and multi-disciplinary writing exercises to reflect upon the stories we carry with us every day, ones that have come before us, and those still to come,” as a write-up about the session notes.
It’s part of the Nikkei’s Hastings Park 1942 exhibition. Limited space is available. The workshop is by donation (pay what you can) and free for youth, elders and those of low income. Sign up through www.eventbrite.com (search for Speaking With Spirits) or see centre.nikkeiplace.org for details.
