For the third workshop in our Healing Monsters series of events, artist and educator Hussein Mitha lead a workshop on reading as a healing practice, by both thinking about the ways in which reading can create a space for healing in our routine simply by claiming time for ourselves; and how the things we read can contribute to our wellbeing. Hussein took us through various ‘theories of reading’ and lead some reading exercises. This workshop will explore the powerful connections (and interchangeability) between readers and writers – how we often form close connections with characters and how the reader inserts themselves into a story as a way of escape but as an act of storytelling.
