Please note: this event will be held in person at The Hidden Gardens Boilerhouse
What might the world look like if land was free and we saw ourselves as part of it—not separate? In this creative writing workshop, we’ll use storytelling and speculative fiction to imagine liberated, just futures rooted in land, reparations, and collective care. Together we’ll write toward utopias that resist extraction and reimagine belonging.

About the facilitator:
Jamila is a writer, filmmaker and member of LION (Land In Our Names), a collective that centres reparations through land for Black people and people of colour. Working at the intersection of land justice, anti-racism, and collective liberation, Jamila sees storytelling as a political act— one that exposes power, amplifies resistance, and connects us. From investigative reporting to creative writing, their work centers marginalized voices and challenges dominant narratives. Their practice is rooted in care, community, and the belief that stories are tools for survival and transformation.
