Feminist & Queer Approaches to Creative Writing
$340
In their debut collection, Andrea Abi-Karam demands the writer to “Kill The Bro In Yr Head.” In this workshop, we will ask: what can writing teach us about the ways we move through the world? How can we use our words to dismantle our own biases and the systems that live within us? Through exploration of gender and sexuality in creative texts across genres by TLGBQ+ and gender non-conforming writers, we will cultivate our own texts of interrogation and self-discovery. Possible topics include the queer pastoral, the fable as means of social change, and art as activism.
Access Program
We want our writing classes and seminars to be accessible to everyone, regardless of income and background. We understand that our tuition structure can present obstacles for some people. Our Access Program offers writing class and seminar tuitions at a reduced rate. Most writing classes have at least one access spot available.
