- **Event Description**: PASSING NOTES
Exploring Women’s Exchanges in Private &amp; Public Spheres

An International Women’s Month Writing Workshop under the theme "Give To Gain”
Facilitated by Devi Sastry &amp; Zui Kumar Reddy


Workshop Overview
When women exchange words and ideas, we create spaces of intimacy, reflection, solidarity and resistance. Passing Notes explores writing as exchange rather than performance, inviting participants to rediscover storytelling as dialogue rather than display. This immersive workshop traces four powerful forms of women’s expression: diaries, letter correspondences, oral networks and histories, and zines. Through guided exercises and reflective discussion, participants will experiment with writing to someone rather than for an audience.

What to Expect: 
• Short readings and genre explorations 
• Guided writing prompts 
• Paired and group exchanges 
• Conversations on care, collaboration and creative honesty
