Write across forms and take inspiration from zines and more to channel your rage about the current moment into propaganda and memoir
About this Event

Please note: this event will be held in person.

In this workshop series, we will engage with readings, discussions, and prompts to write alternatives to the capitalist hellscape and find possibilities in its decay. We will write across forms and take inspiration from zines, archives, fiction and our imaginations. Drop in or come to all three. Sharing work will be encouraged but optional.

Session 2: Present

We will channel our rage about the current moment into propaganda and memoir.

Each session in this series is standalone, but you are welcome to attend all three.

CW: state violence
