3d Space by RWW
3d Space by RWW is a non-academic literary arts offering that provides semester-long craft instruction, mentorship, and support to BIPOC writers ready to engage in a rigorous, creative, and care-centered writing program.
Sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the term “third space” to describe neutral and non-hierarchical places away from home and work. Homi K. Bhabha argued that third spaces empower the marginalized to envision liberation. At 3d Space by RWW, we embody this concept. Our semester-long, non-academic writing program offers top-tier literary arts pedagogy to BIPOC writers serious about studying craft and creating literary art.
3d Space by RWW is not just a program; it's a supportive space where serious writers learn craft, focus on writing, produce literary art, receive mentorship, engage in co-writing sessions, and build a literary community while showing up fully as themselves. 3d Space by RWW offers a space where code-switching and cultural explaining are unnecessary and unhelpful.
At 3d Space by RWW, BIPOC poets and writers are welcomed and centered, valued and pushed. 3d Space by RWW is committed to storytelling and stories by BIPOC storytellers.
3d Space by RWW is for the emerging writer who is interested in an MFA workshop experience without the anti-Black and Brown harm typically found in those spaces. It is also for the emerging writer who may have an MFA or a published book but whose art will benefit from the BIPOC gaze.
