This group is a safe platform for collective reading and sharing. It holds space for care and encourages the practice of reading together as a form of survival, resistance and healing under our current post-lockdown but still in pandemic condition.
In the first few sessions, the group will be focusing on exploring different chapters from All About Love: New Visions (Love Song to the Nation) (2000) by African-American scholar and activist bell hooks. Each chapter deconstructs and reframes our assumptions about “love” as a primarily romantic emotion and how love became a “cliché”, instead it reconnects us to love that is redemptive, and healing; an understanding of love that in Covid times we need more than ever.
Join them regularly each month or for one session. No need to complete the reading beforehand, there will be time to read each chapter at the beginning of the group and time for discussion after.
Free, booking required.

Knowsley’s theme for its year as Borough of Culture is Storytelling, so here is an opportunity for you to uncover and tell your own story.
Story Makers is a series of four beginner creative writing workshops led by the Scribblers, a creative writing group from Kirkby Gallery. The workshops will be inspired by your own lived experience and cultural heritage.
In this first Story Makers session led by Scribbler Margaret, you will be getting your creative writing muscles warmed up through talking and writing about your memories of food. We will explore taste and smell, taking you back to memories from childhood, from wafts of freshly baked bread from the bakers to Christmas Day lunches, sea-side holiday foods and favourite sweet treats.
Scribbler Margaret: A little about me!
I write some terrible, terrible stories. My mind wanders. Writing gives me an excuse to do things, go places and explore, sometimes I even leave the house! Five years ago, I found myself alone, needing new company and friends. I wanted to rewrite my life as ‘Margaret the Person’ not the widow, not just Mum or Nana, not just ‘our Margie’. Joining the ‘Scribblers’ helped me achieve some of these aims and made me realise, that when writing, like driving a car ‘you don’t have to see your destination, just two or three feet ahead of you’.
Story Makers continued…
