Pencil In

A writers’ group intended for writers to practice their craft without the pressures of producing a final outcome, designed to provide a supportive environment for writers to write alone yet in a group. You’re invited to polish your writing skills while receiving valuable feedback from experienced peer reviewers in English and/or Arabic, having active conversations with other like-minded writers, and enjoying a safe space to share personal texts and works … Your peer reviewer / group leader this time is Nava Rizvi, a Pakistani artist and art historian born and raised in the UAE; her research and practice explore cultural memory, (de)colonial theory, ephemera, language, and third-culture narratives.

These sessions are free, drop-ins are welcome, and you even get a free cup of coffee.
