Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift undertake two intensive writing residencies at Scottish Sculpture Workshop in Lumsden and Hospitalfield in Arbroath.
The session – aimed specifically at white people – will be run by Tripod.

It will be a space to learn and transform together and look at further anti-racist resources and work.
