ABOUT THE ORGANISER The workshop is organised by Writing Our Legacy as part of our WOL@ Changing Chalk programme Writing Our Legacy is an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation 2023-26. Akila Richards is an award winning poet, spoken word artist and fiction writer. Her work is published in Covert Magazines, Mosaic Writers, Penguin, Waterloo Press, Peepal Tree Press and on digital platforms. Her soundscapes and audio work can be listened to at Dulwich Gallery website, Wasafiri Instagram and her own Youtube channel. Her poetry pamphlet Ritual for a Mango was published by Flipped Eye in February 2024. Akila’s artistic year-long residency at Brighton Dome in 2021 led to the development of The Rest Experience offering a range of participatory activities, events, collaborations and programmes. As a socially engaged artist her belief is that rest is a collective experience which leads us to our purpose and true self, where we are rested and relevant , connected and visionary and the impossible becomes possible, here and for futurity. Akila is a proud member of the Inscribe Group an imprint of Peepal Tree Press whose support and encouragement have also led to her first novel writing. Her poems and stories speak to our humanness, of complex lives and ultimately the deep joy of liberation. https://akilarichards.wordpress.com/ Writing Our Legacy CIC is an arts and heritage organisation that enables Black, Asian and ethnically diverse/BPOC* people to tell their story through writing and the creative arts. We were established in 2012. We give writers and other creatives a platform and community to feel supported, nurtured and evolve their work through the creative pipeline, from start to publication. We share stories and heritage of diaspora communities and bring them to life through various art forms for audiences to learn and take part in cultural heritage. We are an Arts Council England National Portfolio Organisation. *BPOC stands for ‘Black people, People of Colour’ and is a self-identifying term. While we use the term BPOC, we acknowledge the limitations of this terminology. At the core of our network is the aim to address and overcome systemic barriers that our members face directly or indirectly based on their ethnic or national identities, race or perceived racial identities, or the colour of their skin as per the Equality Act of 2010. This includes people who identify as Black, brown, people of colour, Global Majority, mixed-race, multiple heritage and/or are from the Global South, and/or are East and South-East Asian, West Asian, Asian, Middle Eastern, African, African-Caribbean, Caribbean, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Indigenous, or First Nations, and diasporas.
