Not Lost: A grief writing workshop for youth

Posted January 21, 2016

Not Lost was a free 10-​​week creative writing​ ​workshop in Toronto for youth living with grief through the loss of a loved one. Not Lost was facilitated by mel g campbell, a “queer, Black, chronically ill, sometimes-femme poet” who regularly works with themes of resilience and intersectionality, and is passionate about interdependence and believes in combining art and activism to create change in a world tormented by histories and systems of violence.

The Public worked with mel to design a poster that welcomed youth​ ​aged 18-29 who exist within​ ​the margins ​to share a place where​ ​participants gather to​ ​share, grieve, build,​ ​and make.
