Collage As Creative Nonfiction Storytelling ZOOM CLASS

Northampton MA

19 January, 2023

Description

Come join Astral Cherry Art for a fun, Zoom-based workshop: Genreflux! Creative nonfiction is a genre-defying medium. It uses prose and style to weave together stories that are simultaneously truthful and entertaining. Similarly, collage challenges the boundaries of genre by transforming pieces and parts into a new whole. Together, collage and creative nonfiction ask us to imagine new ways to share our stories together. Where does the truth end, and fiction begin? Genreflux explores how we can transform oral stories about our lives into creative nonfiction collages. You'll practice multiple modes of storytelling in just a few hours, and leave with a renewed sense of connection to your authentic creative voice. Participants will walk away with a resource document and prompt list to keep them inspired and supported in exploring creative nonfiction as a genre. BYOAS (Bring Your Own Art Supplies). 6-8pm EST on January 19th, 2023.
