Around the Community: Found & Lost: Generating Work Inspired by Southeast Asian/Southeast Asian American Poetry & Art

Saturday, August 3rd - 12pm-2pm PDT
Virtual, via Zoom

Cost: Sliding Scale $10-$35

Please join Suzanne Tay-Kelley and Maw Shein Win for a Maker, Mentor, Muse Summer Salon Found & Lost: Generating New Work Inspired by Southeast Asian/Southeast Asian American Poetry & Art on Saturday, August 3rd, noon to 2:00pm PT. In this lively generative workshop, we will explore selected works by Southeast poets and artists and consider these questions:

  • What can get lost in our cultural, personal, and familial histories?

  • How can we reclaim and transform these histories through our writing?

  • How do we find, define, and even create new “family” through community?

  • What can be recovered and rediscovered through mythmaking and storytelling?

Participants will engage with works by poets and artists from across the region, finding inspiration to create new writing by reading and seeing with fresh eyes. Facilitators will offer helpful handouts at the end of the salon.
