Let’s build the world we desire! In this generative workshop, we will dive into our visions of the worlds we would like to exist in. How can the sentiments and struggles of today’s experience shape this alternate reality? What does your internal world say about the external? With these questions in mind, we will explore world-building by emoting & feeling our way through its existence. We will read from journals such as FIYAH Lit Mag, Skew Magazine, Black Quantum Futurism, discuss what we read, and write to prompts. All levels of writing experience and genres welcome!
