Autograph's upcoming exhibition Charan Singh: Your Tongue in My Mouth explores how South Asian queer narratives have been obscured, omitted and reshaped by colonial legacies. Through the exhibition, language becomes a site of power, shaping memory and influencing how queer identities are represented in the archive.

This workshop offers an opportunity to engage with Singh's exhibition with creative writing, through guided prompts and reflective exercises. Participants will respond creatively to the exhibition while exploring the context that informs Singh's research and practice.

This event will be led by writer, facilitator and poet Gayathri Kamalkanthan whose practice explores how language shapes belonging and how storytelling can help build freer futures. Gayathiri will incorporate a newly commissioned text created in response to the exhibition, into the workshop.

The ticket price for this event is £10. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. If this ticket price is unaffordable for you, please get in touch with at [email protected] about free ticketing options.
