Dear Diary
a 4 week class to guide you in cultivating a writing practice, finding your own voice, learning tools of resistance & community, & getting curious, every day
over 4 1.5 hr sessions, we’ll make and talk about diaries. diaries as artifacts, as acts of resistance, as outsider art, as daily companions, as survival, as silly and boring and anti-capitalist and, most importantly, an extreme act of hope.
class is focused on excavating our own experiences, talking about class materials, doing writing/art/creative prompts, cheerleading each other’s efforts, and being curious. sometimes there will be a little homework that you never have to do, but will always reward you if you do it!
CLASS OPTIONS:
🌻 Sundays Jan 12-Feb 2
2pm-3:30pm CST
🌻 Wednesdays Jan 15-Feb 5
7:30-9pm CST
