Let’s go back to the future in this science fiction reading/writing/viewing/playing workshop that will highlight:
*collaboration and activism as tools for world-building and vice versa
*building our sensory and generative imaginaries through deep time (what is your future's past?)
*using non-fiction forms and styles to make the future feel real
*the uses of science fiction when futures feel precarious and endangered
Bring water, fragments, ideas, headlines, songs, hopes, inventions, your most vexing bureaucratic encounters: no science-fiction writing or reading experience needed.
We will read a short story and watch a short film to have some shared texts in the room. There will be individual and collaborative writing/planning opportunities, and some optional movement (this can be seated). So will also give a short reading and answer your questions about form and practice.
To repeat: ALL are welcome. No writing experience is necessary.
