DESCRIPTION:Concept note: What is truth? From Pontius Pilate to fake news\, people have grappled with this question for millennia. In the English-speaking world\, the book industry often implies the answer is easy\, dividing everything neatly into ‘fiction’ and ‘non-fiction’. But is it really as simple as that? Looking at a series of extracts from texts around the world with differing approaches to the issue of truth\, this ninety-minute workshop will explore whether there ever can be such a thing as a true story. \n  \nTestimonials: ‘Ann’s playful and expert guidance turned the pieces we read into mirrors\, showing our own assumptions and biases when encountering unfamiliar work or worlds\, and then freed us simply to wander and wonder through them. I thoroughly recommend the workshop for anyone interested in stories and words.’ \n  \n‘Ann flips the ‘rules’ of literary analysis and encourages us to embrace what we do not know\, to let go of everything familiar and remake our understanding of the world. Fun\, lively and thought-provoking\, her workshops encourage us not just to learn more about the world\, but also about how we relate to it.’ URL:https://dibrulitfest.com/event/is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-true-story/ LOCATION:SHRI SHRI ANIRUDDHADEVA BHAWAN\, Dibrugarh University\, Dibrugarh\, Assam\, 786004\, India CATEGORIES:WORKSHOP ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dibrulitfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Is-There-Such-a-Thing-as-a-True-Story_WORKSHOP.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20250207T100000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20250207T111500 DTSTAMP:20260424T184955 CREATED:20250130T130046Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250131T115730Z UID:11513-1738922400-1738926900@dibrulitfest.com SUMMARY:“SLAM POETRY” DESCRIPTION:Join Anna Maria Gehnyei\, Aka Karima 2G\, an Italian-Liberian artist\, singer-songwriter\, rapper\, producer\, and writer\, for a dynamic and empowering workshop on creative writing and slam poetry.

It hopes to shine a light on social behaviour that can perhaps be remedied through self-awareness and a giggle. \nAt the very least\, it hopes to incite some laughs that may help release stress. \n  \nNOTE : \nParticipants should bring their own sketchpads and pens/pencils URL:https://dibrulitfest.com/event/laugh-it-off/ LOCATION:INDIRA MIRI HALL\, Dibrugarh University\, Dibrugarh\, Assam\, 786004\, India CATEGORIES:WORKSHOP ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dibrulitfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/LAUGH_OFF_PANKAJ_THAPA.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20240321T103000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20240321T130000 DTSTAMP:20260424T184955 CREATED:20240304T073842Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250126T104501Z UID:7997-1711017000-1711026000@dibrulitfest.com SUMMARY:FLAMA! DESCRIPTION:FLAMA is a space-time for co-creation and experimentation between illustrators Flávia Bomfim (Brazil) and Maguma (Spain). \nTitle: Forms are Born from Forms\nEmbracing the challenge of collective production and stretching the boundaries and limits of individual authorship\, we develop games of systematic and continuous interferences in drawings and graphic productions\, expanding and reinterpreting the ideas of style\, creativity\, authorship\, and genius. \nFor this workshop\, we propose to transfer the games\, methodologies\, techniques\, and discoveries that we have been collecting throughout our experiences to a collective activity. In the end\, we will produce a collection of posters together. \nWe will divide the activity-game into 3 stages: \n1- Form – exercises in sensitization\, attention\, capture\, and collection of forms. \n2- Connection / Syntax – making – together. Deconstruct and reconnect\, through the poetics of invention. \n3- Communication – not everything is magic in the field of semiotics. Tools that activate the statement in an image. \nWe will go through all the stages of a creative cycle: research – idea – creation – presentation \nMaterials: \nEach person must bring: pencil\, eraser\, scissors\, stylus (different colors)\, rule\, cutter. \nCollective Material: \n\n150ml bottle of acrylic per color (we need cyan\, yellow\, magenta and black). Example\nA4 paper (1 pack)\n7 A3 cutting pads\n2 sheets of A3 acetate per participant\n6 dishwashing pads\n1 tape for paper. Example\n2 packs of A3 paper 120 gr\n1 roll of paper for cleaning hands\n\nTimings \nSession 1 : March 20 : Flama: 2:30pm to 4:30pm \nSession 2 :: March 21: Flama: 10:30 am to 1:00 pm \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n  URL:https://dibrulitfest.com/event/flama/ LOCATION:Dibrugarh University\, Conference Hall of Library\, 2nd Floor\, Dibrugarh\, Assam\, India CATEGORIES:WORKSHOP ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dibrulitfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/flam_workshop.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20240320T113000 DTEND;TZID=Asia/Kolkata:20240320T123000 DTSTAMP:20260424T184955 CREATED:20240224T121152Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250126T104510Z UID:5880-1710934200-1710937800@dibrulitfest.com SUMMARY:Why Graphics?

Instead of giving answers\, participants are invited to explore what questions\, problems or reactions examples of writing from unfamiliar traditions provoke or pose. \nThe featured extracts usually come from translated works drawn from a wide range of literatures underrepresented in anglophone publishing. The selection is designed to complement the interests and expertise of each audience\, with sessions so far including publishing students\, literature teachers\, translators\, writers\, librarians\, academics\, and general booklovers. \nAs we work through the material\, we explore the roles (both good and bad) that assumption and bias play in reading\, the idea of embracing discomfort and the opportunities that paying attention to the gaps in our understanding opens up. \n\nMar 19\nDUILF 2024\nASSAM\, INDIA\n\n\nAN INCOMPREHENSION WORKSHOP \nBY ANN MORGAN\nRegistration Fees : FREE\nLimited Seats : 30 Participants\nDuration : 90-minute interactive session\n\nRegister URL:https://dibrulitfest.com/event/an-incomprehension-workshop-by-ann-morgan/ LOCATION:Dibrugarh University\, Conference Hall of Library\, 2nd Floor\, Dibrugarh\, Assam\, India CATEGORIES:WORKSHOP ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://dibrulitfest.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/an_incomprehension_workshop-01.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
