HOME has always carried different meanings for different people throughout histories and spaces. And the pandemic has put an entirely different spin to what home has come to mean for many of us.

Join KathaSatha and Queens Memory for a memoir writing workshop where you will write and share personal stories that will explore ideas of home in different and distinct phases of your lives. Participants are encouraged to bring personal photos that may help in telling and sharing their stories. Muna Gurung will lead the workshop with a series of writing exercises. No prior writing experience required.

Muna Gurung is a writer, educator and translator based in Kathmandu. She teaches writing at the Open Institute Social Sciences. When not writing or teaching, she runs ĀMĀKO, an intergenerational pickles and preserves company.
