A writing workshop dedicated to imagining liberated futures, both on collective and personal subjects.

Inspired by writing practices like the book everything for everyone: an oral history of the new york commune, 2052–2072 by M. E. O’Brien and Eman Abdelhadi, we would like to invite participants to write and share their own wild, untameable, unimagined liberated future. If you wonder how to write from a place of desire in times of (seemingly) endless defeats, this writing experiment will offer you new tools. the workshop will be facilitated in english by paparouna (native speaker of english and greek) and may (native speaker of french and english), in a multilingual friendly setting. all languages and styles of writing are welcome.

who we are:

-paparouna (they/she/το/η) is a crip non-binary queer greek-usamerican writer, translator, teacher, and navigator of ecotones (@paparouna.art)

-may (they/iel/το) is a queer french-lebanese writer of french and english, a lover of zaatar and playful writing workshops (@mayboltznasr)
