Black History Month Milano Raccontami un’altra storia – Storytelling and Creative Writing Workshop

workshop

Imagine a book that brings together all the stories in the world: the ones we know, have read, heard or been told. And yet, no matter how many stories it holds, there is always room for one more. What story would you add?

Tell Me Another Story is a creative writing workshop that invites participants to make space for forgotten stories, stories that have never been told, or stories yet to be imagined. Through simple writing and imagination exercises, playwright and writer Nalini Vidoolah Mootoosamy will guide each participant in creating their own story. It might be a memory, a true or fictional account, an unexpected point of view, or the story they have always wanted to read.
No previous writing experience is needed: just curiosity and a willingness to explore new narrative possibilities. At the end of the workshop, the stories can come together in a small collective book, bringing different voices and perspectives into conversation.

The workshop is open to everyone, especially those who feel the desire to give voice to their own stories and weave them into a shared narrative. It is a free, full-day workshop for a maximum of 10 participants, with a shared bring-your-own-lunch break. Participants are welcome to bring whichever writing tools they feel most comfortable with, whether pen and paper, a notebook or a laptop. The workshop will be held in Italian.


The workshop is curated by Black History Month Milano in collaboration with BASE Milano.
