Join us for this reading featuring emerging local writers from the 2022 Interdisciplinary Writers Lab (IWL), presented by Kearny Street Workshop and the Asian Art Museum. IWL is a three-month multigenre writing program for writers who are Black, indigenous, or people of color.

Kearny Street Workshop in collaboration with Asian Art Museum, presented Interdisciplinary Writers Lab (IWL), a 3-month, multi-genre master class for local writers of color scheduled during summer 2022. IWL is a unique program that challenges emerging writers to thoroughly explore and develop their writing skills and styles across multiple genres.

The goals of the IWL program include: providing local emerging writers/artists with the opportunity to challenge, develop, and expand their practice by working with established writers in a variety of genres; to contribute to the development of new literary forms and language that incorporate multiple forms of creative expression; to provide emerging artists with the opportunity to build community and connect with writers in the literary world; and to publish in a print anthology that highlights work by exciting new writers committed to exploring new forms and voices.

IWL 2022 is a collaboration between Kearny Street Workshop and Asian Art Museum, San Francisco.
