Join Norman Erikson Pasaribu in a workshop exploring humour and how it is used in writing.
In many marginalised communities, humour has always been a way to cope with hardships in life. It gives back laughter but also hints at liberation since humour is often based on demystification of things currently considered sacred or divine, which were often oppressing. But how do we use humour in our writing? In this workshop we will look through the possibilities of what humour can be, and how we can use it to amplify our voices.
