THE::SENSE::ARCHIVE
A collaboration with Ava Shirazi. the::sense::archive is an incubator, an emerging creative collective, and a research network. the::sense::archive is not a thing or a place; it is the pursuit for a way of working, dreaming, knowing, activating, and creating. the::sense::archive programs center artist-practitioners and their processes, and act as hubs for collective theorizing, where morphing sensoria take the lead over “sense-making” and logic-driven forms of making.
MAKING WRITING WORKSHOP
The Making Writing Workshop guides participants in rewiring their relationship to writing and research as creative making. Through visioning, collaging, and fictionalizing exercises, we loosen prominent blocks (e.g. insecurity, overwhelm) and become attuned to our creative biorhythms. By the end of the workshop, students deepen their practices toward their creative purpose, biorhythms, and writerly urgency. Reach out with inquiries!
