Writing as Resistance at the Wolf House
Writing as Resistance:
The most dramatic change (since the daily use of social media) is our ability to be elsewhere at any point in time, to sidestep what is difficult, what is hard in a personal interaction and go to another place where it does not have to be dealt with. Michael Price, Psychological Association
We developed this workshop to create a safe space to come out of isolation, to walk into what is difficult and to find the words to disrupt oppression, to address inequities, and to help heal what may be broken in our spirits and in our communities.
We will use our time to grapple with words - studying examples and generating new work. We will use our time to hear and to be heard.
Light snacks will be provided. Please bring any additional potluck food you may wish to share with the group.
Space is VERY limited. Reserve your spot early!
