Workshop Description: Our Queer Lineages is a workshop about exploring writing as a form of inheritance, an heirloom for the current and next generations. This workshop includes a generative writing session where we will first discuss what heirlooms and inheritance means to us as well as the importance of documenting our experiences. Together we'll take time to explore how remembrance and imagination can show up in our work to create our own archives. In it, we will take a look at examples of other writer’s works that illustrate these concepts. Then we'll take some time to write our own and share back together.
About the Teaching Artist: Originally raised in the spoken word community of Worcester, MA, Aisha is a 2023 THOI alum and Chicago based cultural worker. As both a queer first generation person, they view writing as a powerful living archive, anticapitalist practice and tool to counter erasure. Aisha is a 2024 Tin House WS alum and the 1st place winner of the 2019 Poetry Iowa Writers poetry contest for social workers. You can connect with them @flower_femme_official on Instagram.
