A creative writing taster session for adult survivors to 'Find The Words' to express our resistance to abuse, violence & cultural silence

Come and find out more about UpFront Survivors Gloucester and take part in a creative writing taster session for adult survivors of child sexual abuse (CSA) and allies. Together we will 'Find The Words' to express our own lived experiences, celebrate our survival and resist the dominant culture that silences and overlooks us.

The session will be led by Viv Gordon who will guide us through simple exercises to get writing and express our resistance. We will write individual and group pieces to say "no" to oppressive systems and cultures and "yes" to connection and community power.

Viv Gordon is a writer, performer, CSA survivor activist and Artistic Director of Viv Gordon Company CIC. Our work is a creative campaign to make narrative change and build community belonging, pride and leadership by, for and with adult survivors of child sexual abuse.

Please note our event reminder emails and the Zoom link will be sent via Eventbrite, so please keep an eye on your promotions / spam / junk folders.
