Writing Our Resistance: Subterranean Stories of Survivance

Storytelling is an ancestral technology that tells us who we are, where we come from, what we are committed to and how we survive. In diaspora and dispossession, stories keep us connected to our sovereignty and our resistance against oppression. As we nosedive into this election season, we need not only tales of visibility and triumph, but also yarns of underground survival when the worst comes. 

Please join us for this 2 part writing workshop focused on writing our resistance through hardship and creating our own mythologies of care. Together, we explore the power of invisibility, the trickster and quiet organizing. Our first session will open the discussion and begin the writing journey. Our second session we will share stories and keep the conversation going to build an empowered landscape below the surface! Folks are welcome to join for one or both sessions.
