RQ Presents
“Writing in Queer Spaces” with Freesia McKee
DATE: MARCH 24TH, 2019 from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM
LOCATION: HISTORY MIAMI MUSEUM @ 101 W FLAGLER ST, MIAMI, FL 33130. MAP here
COST: ALWAYS FREE. Donations appreciated. Donate here
This workshop is brought to you in partnership with the HistoryMiami Museum.
DESCRIPTION: Have there always been queer people in Miami? Who set the stage so that we could come out? In this workshop, we will write poetic responses to “Queer Miami: A History of LGBTQ Communities” at HistoryMiami. Using this archival photo exhibit as a creative prompt, we’ll write about our visible and invisible lineages.
We will also ask what it means for our own bodies to inhabit the queer space the exhibit has created and think about what it might mean to “queer-ify” a space on and off the page. Whether you’re LGBTQ+ or an ally, a local or a visitor, or a long-time writer or simply “poetry-curious,” this workshop is designed with everyone in mind.
Please bring your own writing utensils.
