Workshop Description: In this session, participants will have the opportunity to learn the tenants and history of disability justice and how it has shown up in creative non-fiction (CNF). Specifically, we'll discuss the work of Audre Lorde, Alice Wong, and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha juxtaposed against pop culture references of disability to stress the importance of these writers and others. In the last portion of the session, students will have time to plan, outline, and/or start writing their own CNF piece that is inspired by any of the texts we discuss. Whether that be inspired by content, form, and/or any aspect, as long as it incorporates the disability justice tenants.
About the Teaching Artist: Leor Feldman (they/he) is a Jewish disabled writer, advocate and facilitator who explores themes of culture, placemaking and the connection between our natural world and the chronically ill, genderqueer/queer body. You can find their work in Humble Pie Lit Journal, South Broadway Press, Hey Alma and The Colorado Sun. Leor currently resides in Conifer, Colorado, yet is often found at community events in Denver.
