This session combines lecture with generative time and guidance to explore thresholds, not only as figurative motifs but as loci of power, spaces bound in the present in-definite, and essential tools of the writing craft.

This generative session centers on the transformative power of gratitude, encouraging participants to embrace even their most painful experiences as vital resources for growth and development.

This session will focus on expanding ideas of ‘sacredness’, and will address both how we write about what is sacred, and how we find a sense of ritual and sacredness through our writing processes.

In this session, huiyin zhou and Laura Dudu will share insights from their collaborative projects and processes both as an artist duo and as long-term friends who co-direct community-based art initiatives.

In this talk we will explore how care shapes and is shaped by the writing process.
