Phantom Workshop

Julie Gilbert, writer and creator, explores the connections between writing and mediumship, drawing on experiences with indigenous communities in Michoacán and her interest in shamanic practice. This workshop echoes her piece Une histoire mexicaine and uses the method from La Bibliothèque sonore des femmes: participants summon, through writing, people who have mattered to them and give them voice in a monologue. It investigates heritage, belonging and filial ties and is open to all levels.
