Enabling Arts
343 Railway Street, Vancouver, Canada
This workshop aims to arm writers with a few tools to write through the apocalypse and the difficult emotions that come under the level of oppression and repression weighing upon communities from the hegemony in current events. The pipeline from polarized outrage engagement-farming, into doomscrolling, followed by responding with instant gratification, and ultimately, numbness, is a very intentional framework we will break apart. These tools will help ground and edge toward the centre from either side: overwhelmed by or disconnected from our anger, rage, despair and other difficult emotions. We are having very reasonable reactions to widespread injustice, and we will share space to discuss it, write about it, and otherwise express it while eschewing toxic positivity culture and divesting from the perfectionism often expected when discussing injustice. May these tools to process our reactions bring us to a place of action.
