SUMMARY:International Writing Program Panel Discussion: On the Body
DESCRIPTION:A person’s body affects the way they navigate the world\, and their experiences in it. How much power does a body (with regard to\, for instance\, race\, gender\, sexuality\, physical ability) have over\, or in\, an artist’s work? And\, with what devices can a writer affect issues their body can present– for instance via symbolism\, or by changing media\, or in the physical circumstances of reading and writing? \n  \nBusi Mahlangu (South Africa)\, Wesley Macheso (Malawi)\, Kevin Chen (Taiwan) \n
