Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes is appearing at Melbourne Writers Festival

Join the award-winning author of Trials of Hope (የተስፋ ፈተና), Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes, for an enlightening workshop designed to encourage you to think carefully, critically and creatively about decolonial writing. The workshop will explore the false beliefs that infuse stories from the colony, tropes to avoid and insights for writers to consider while writing on stolen land. Suitable for writers at all creative and career stages, from all contexts and backgrounds.

Decolonial Writing will take place on Sunday 10 May at 10.00 am at The Wheeler Centre. Book your tickets, and check out the rest of the program, on the Melbourne Writers Festival website: Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes: Decolonial Writing
