Letters from our Ancestors, Heart of Glass, 2024

I was invited by Heart of Glass in Merseyside / Liverpool to be ‘Reader-in-Residence’ at their annual gathering ‘With, For About’, and respond to their theme ‘When Words Fail’. Throughtout the day, I guided participants through a small workshop, ‘Letters from our Ancestors’. Here, they could connect to the past through ancestrals map and answer questions from their ancestors to help build the future.

I also presented a second version of ‘Notes from Aarti’s Diary’, originally written in 2019.
