Lead by Curatorial Writer, DaJona Butler...

''This writing workshop explores the spectacular nature of memory work. Together, we will listen to stories that blur the line between the real and the imagined, journeying with authors through landscapes of memory to examine what has been preserved, what has transformed, and what power exists in both.

Through shared exploration, we will practice a kind of communal time travel, moving across past, present, and imagined futures before returning to the landscapes of our own lives. From there, you will write yourself into the spectacular. You’ll be invited to encounter past and future versions of yourself. As these selves become real to you, what do you know about them? What do they long for? What monsters must they slay? What powers might they find hidden underneath their pillow?

On The Island of Lost Fathers, we will meet Jabril, a little boy who can see and hear what others cannot yet. The journey he embarks on upon following his visions is the theme of our workshop. This is an invitation to step into the impossible. Trust the visions you’ve seen, follow them and write."
