Registration is open for our next February workshop, Stealing from Mom’s Purse, facilitated by Gwen Aube!
Stealing From Mom’s Purse is a writing workshop focused on viewing queer creation within greater lineages of queer artists & seeing our work as worthy of existing in communication with those before us. Through lecture, group discussion, and a writing exercise, we will explore our influences and their place in our work. If great artists steal, how do we steal successfully? What is a mentor, and how do we find them? How can our work speak to the archive?
Attendees are encouraged to bring a poem or something else they wish to “steal from” or “respond to” for our writing exercise, though books from the library will also be available to explore and borrow. After the workshop, attendees’ work will be compiled into a limited-run zine for attendees and for inclusion in Dick’s collection.
Register for the workshop here! Registration is limited to 12 participants, with four spots reserved for transfemme folks.

This workshop was made possible with the support of the English Language Arts Network’s Trellis Micro-grant project. The Trellis Micro-grant project, funded by The Department of Canadian Heritage’s Official Languages Support Programs, seeks to highlight English-language Arts and Artists to make them visible to a broader community, and build bridges between Québec’s English-speaking minority and Francophone majority.
