Workshop Nuraini Juliastuti and Josephine Chambers: On Making Stories of Wounds and Wonder
Network for Environmental Humanities
On Friday 14 March, Nuraini Juliastuti and Josephine Chambers (Utrecht University, Copernicus Institute for Sustainable Development) will guide participants to explore the potential of drawing and children’s literature in transmitting multispecies companionship of survival, solidarity, and justice. This workshop is part of the ILFU Academy Nature's Narrative Writing Workshops, a collaboration between the International Literature Festival Utrecht (ILFU) and the Network for Environmental Humanities at Utrecht University.
Stories of Wounds and Wonder
In her experimental children’s book Stories of Wounds and Wonder, Nuraini Juliastuti explores storytelling and story-making as an intergenerational transmission tool to talk about postcolonial erasure, ecological destruction and capitalist expansion across generations. The book centres on the perspectives of local animals as archives, bearing the marks of ecological detriments.
The presentations and discussions will be in English, but participants are welcome to write in and between any languages they would prefer.
