SUMMARY:Poetry For The Political Imagination: Lessons from Audre Lorde in B
 erlin 1984
DESCRIPTION:Inspired by Audre Lorde’s Black Women Poetry seminar which sh
 e delivered in Berlin 1984\, this workshop explores poetry as a site of ra
 dical knowledge\, self-definition\, and resistance against racism. Lorde i
 nsisted that poetry is "not a luxury" but a means of survival\, shaping ho
 w we understand ourselves and build solidarities across differences. Born 
 in New York City in 1934\, Lorde would often describe herself as a “warr
 ior-poet\,” “black lesbian feminist\, socialist [and] mother of two.
 ” She published several books including an autobiography and many poetry
  collections by the time she is invited for a professorship at the Free Un
 iversity of Berlin which she accepts and starts in 1984. Drawing from Audr
 e Lorde’s work as a black woman migrant in Berlin\, this workshop will e
 ngage participants in an active\, participatory process that centers feeli
 ng\, self-exploration\, and collective meaning-making. Through guided writ
 ing exercises\, discussion\, and embodied reflection\, participants will e
 xamine how poetry functions as both a historical archive and a tool for re
 imagining the future.&nbsp\;\n\n	Facilitator: Jessica Nogueira Varela&nbsp
