A live demonstration of an anti-racist creative writing workshop, facilitated by Shannon Cain — winner of the O. Henry Prize, a Pushcart Prize, and the Drue Heinz Literature Prize, and an NEA fellow.

From the organizers: “Come eavesdrop on an anti-racist feedback workshop!”

“Set up fishbowl style with four writers and their facilitator at the center, this session will demonstrate an updated creative writing pedagogy that rejects the traditional model for one that nurtures and champions a diversity of voices.”

“This session is informed by The Anti-Racist Workshop: How to Decolonize Creative Classroom by Felicia Rose Chavez.”
