Join us at Quatrefoil Library for the third event in our series on Queer Migration!
Displaced, Migrated, Transformed: a QTBIPOC Writing Workshop. How do we nurture community in diaspora, in spite of and because of and beyond the trauma of displacement? Bringing together the themes of queer migration and of Black, Indigenous, People of Color’s historical and continual displacement, we will read and discuss a couple of poems by queer and trans writers of color. Then we will explore several writing prompts about our migration as individuals, as given and chosen families, as a community, and how we are transformed and how we transform ourselves in the process.
This Saturday, May 11th, QTBIPOC creatives can participate in the workshop facilitated by Pauline Moll: a poet, trauma-informed teaching artist, and creative arts therapist. Writers of any experience level are welcome, from “non-writers” to published authors. Participants are welcome to bring their personal laptops, notebooks, or other writing tools, but writing supplies will also be provided. This workshop will be an affinity space for queer and trans BIPOC.
No RSVP required. Walk in and participate!
