Under the common themes of loss, belonging, heritage and national identity, the three films A Space Exodus (2008), Nation Estate (2012) and In the Future They Ate from the Finest Porcelain (2015) each explore different aspects of the political turmoil in the Middle East.
Refuweegee was set up in December 2015 to provide a warm welcome to forcibly displaced people arriving in Glasgow. As a result of the amazing response from people in Glasgow and beyond, we have provided over 2000 community-built, personal welcome packs. Every welcome pack that Refuweegee passes on contains a 'Letter fae a Local'. These are the heart and soul of the packs - join Refuweegee to write your letter fae a local!
This workshop will be a chance to explore dystopian fiction as a way of processing forms of oppression that people experience in their daily lives. Participants will have a chance to come up with ideas for their own dystopian novel and pitch them to the rest of the group. Pitches will be followed by individual or group writing time, with opportunities to exchange feedback and learn more about this powerful genre of writing.
Those attending this podcasting workshop will learn or develop skills in recording, editing, producing, branding, marketing and more.
