​RESTORATIVE STORYTELLING PRACTICES: RE-SEEING JO NIVISON HOPPER & MARION HOPPER.

When a historical figure is minimized or erased, there is always an opportunity to re-examine their place in our memories. This course focuses on using the recently restored archives of Jo Nivison and Marion Hopper to generate creative work of our own. We will be visited by local photographer, Lisa Levart, who focuses on telling empowering stories of women and a member of our archives & curatorial team, Veronica Murphy, to discuss the process of restoring these archives. This course is not only for women-identifying writers, but invites us all to think of how we can tell more complex and inclusive stories through our artistic practices. A photographer and our archival team will join us to discuss restoration and the power of images.
