A Workshop Series with CE Gatchalian (Photo By: Asian Canadian Writers website<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

ACWW is pleased to have CE Gatchalian present a two-part workshop series on creating literary works about identity.\u00a0 Whether it be racial, cultural, sexual, gender, ability, etc. or any combination of the above – can be challenging. Is one writing for a general audience, or a specific\/niche\/target one? What negotiations, if any, take place when writing about a minoritized experience for a general audience? Are there “compromises” that are inevitable? Is “apolitical” art possible, or is all art inherently political? Are questions about compromise and negotiation even necessary?<\/p>\n

Current Kogawa House Writer-in-Residence\u00a0C.E. (Chris) Gatchalian<\/a>\u00a0will lead discussions on these questions in two one-hour workshops. As a queer-identifying, racialized artist, Chris wrestles with these questions on a daily basis. The first workshop will be a discussion led by Chris on the above issues; in the second workshop, participants will be free to share and receive feedback on works-in-progress, if they choose.<\/p>\n

Workshop 1: Sunday, December 3, 1 pm
\nWorkshop 2: Sunday, December 10, 1 pm<\/p>\n
