How can fiction immortalise stories of migration that might otherwise go untold? How do decay and dystopia illustrate settler colonialism and displacement? What is the role of gender, womanhood and motherhood in depicting intergenerational trauma and domestic violence across continents How can writing transport us to different countries, continents, hellscapes, and paradises? How do we write pain? Love? Loss of community? Identity?
