A WORKSHOP TO GUIDE YOU IN MEANING MAKING FROM ANCESTRAL DOCUMENTS, OBJECTS, AND TALL TALES.
Learn how to build stories from letters, photographs, public records, doctors’ prescriptions, and dating profiles. Excerpts from writing by Audre Lorde, E.J. Koh, Elissa Washuta, and others will serve as examples of how to combine primary sources with craft and form, all in service to the nuances of our identities.
ANYTIME, 2 HOURS

NEITHER LECTURE NOR WORKSHOP, CONTEMPLATE THIS TABOO SUBJECT THROUGH ESSAYS.
With art as a container, we’ll make time to look, not stare, into the void, providing no answers or conclusions, but indulging collective curiosities, questions, losses, experiences. We’ll read Blake Butler, Concetta Principe, Vi Khi Nao, and others.
Perhaps you’ll discover something you wish was said that hasn’t been. I hope this class will help you write it.

WE’LL STUDY HOW BRILLIANT WRITERS OF PAST AND PRESENT EXPLORE SOCIETY THROUGH DRESS.
Through Hinton Als and Katy Kelleher, Jane Wong and Mitchell S. Jackson, and perhaps some classics, we’ll examine how clothes offer a specific and gripping way into discussion of power, politics, and identity. What do our sartorial choices say about us, our histories, and how can they shape our futures?

GET STEP-BY-STEP GUIDANCE INTO THE SUBJECT(S) YOU’VE BEEN AVOIDING. 4 SESSIONS, NO WORKSHOP.
For those ready and wanting to take part in a communal leap, this class will help you spend time with the thing you never thought you could write. It’ll help you find structure for the monster story in you, for the experience that’s finally cool enough to touch, the thing you must tell in order to release it from your body.
