Description:

Seeded Places: land and interdependence

In this workshop, we will explore the importance of land, not only as a physical feature but also how Butler utilizes it as a thematic element in Parable of the Sower. We'll also read a story from the collection Love After the End, an anthology of queer Two-Spirit futurisms, centered on how the future is a place that will stay queer and be dependent on how we show up for each other. Our goal for this workshop is to start to draft a creative piece focusing on natural elements that connect us to the earth and one another. By slowing down our writing process we can construct stories with nuance and care that uplift the importance of our responsibility to our natural world and each other.

*The story from the collection will be emailed prior the workshop.*
