Matrilineal Voices

Description

Drawing from literary theory and cultural studies, this workshop invites you to go beyond simple invention and explore the voices that shape identity, sense of place, and embodied memory within your matrilineal ancestry. Even if the facts of past generations are incomplete or missing, we’ll uncover patterns, silences, and presences—often found in the margins of history—that can bring depth and authenticity to your writing. You’ll learn to create vivid characters and strengthen your storytelling. Bring your favorite writing tools—pen and paper or a laptop.
