Newtopia: Women with Fierce Words
Part of Paisley Book Festival, Newtopia is a multimedia performance of writing emerging from women's disrupted lives as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
About Newtopia: Women with Fierce Words
It is presented by Women With Fierce Words – an inclusive collective of established women writers - who are joined from India by the award-winning poet, Saima Afreen. They have creatively examined this tumultuous time, its impact on their careers, family life, as well as the physical and emotional impact it has had on themselves.
Come along to hear their powerful words as they weave a radical new future and join the conversation by posting your own ‘fierce’ word onto a virtual canvas.
While we take every opportunity to ensure the details for Newtopia: Women with Fierce Words are accurate, we always advise that you contact the event organiser before setting out for the event to avoid disapointment. All information (whether in text or photographs) is given in good faith but should not be relied upon as being a statement of representation or fact.
