Let off some STEAM: Writing Our Collective Joy

We look to art in times of distress for comfort, rage, joy… anything really that brings us closer to a deeper understanding about injustice, resistance, and solidarity.

In this generative workshop, we will write to help clarify times that often feel beyond comprehension, with exercises to explore and express both our individual and collective anger and joy. We will use our writing as windows into protest and deepening the connections with our neighbors.

No prior writing experience is necessary. Simply bring a pen and paper, or your preferred writing tools. Note: I will try to make this as accessible to as many ages as I can, but will be best suited for ages 13+.

Bio: Hannah Gregory is a trans, queer writer, Seward resident, and an MFA in Creative Writing candidate at the University of Minnesota. Her work has appeared in or is forthcoming in Electric Literature, The Sun, and elsewhere.
