By Roots. Wounds. Words.: A Literary Arts Revolution for BIPOC Storytellers
To be determined
What can we learn from Beyonce, a mushroom, the human body, and an art exhibition? How do we "read the world" and learn to write alongside it? In this workshop, artists and writers are invited to radically imagine a new arts activism that draws on multiple ways of knowing, lineages, histories, and explorations interrelationship between the natural world and an artistic expression of balance and connection. Together we will explore ekphrasis, writing in response to art, in relationship to works of art that help illuminate the relationship between environmental politics, anthropocentric thinking, and racialized experience.
