electric, glitching, watery, cavernous. the body is porous to the meadow; the soul composts into beach sand; the mind wanders the planetary bodies of deep time. who will make the words/worlds of our future(s)?
in this third iteration, THE RADICAL WRITER invites writers/artists/cultural workers to develop an ecological lens within their creative practice. to become-with specters, creatures, plants and sacred sites that shape our spiritual, organic, cultural and political realities.
for 13 weeks, we will read, write, dream and world-make eco-political networks of futurity, with the aim of sharpening literary expression through intimate encounters of genre— the poetic, philosophical, historical and fictional. students will participate in interdisciplinary group seminars and write in guided workshops in a context that also encourages them to deepen critical thinking skills.
this experience is for those who yearn to write worlds that are made up of multiplicities— where narratives are shaped in co-authorship with the evolutionary/cosmic realms.
