Writing Across Homelands Led By Victoria Cho

Sundays, Novemeber 6th & 13th, 2022 | 2:00 PM ET - 5:00 PM ET

Tuition | $100.00

Capacity: 20 Storytellers

Our concept of home may be simple and obvious or convoluted and concealed. In this workshop, we will explore our character’s sense of home, which may span continents, cultures, and generations. We will read a selection of fiction and essays to note how homes inspire our characters’ journeys and relations. Using prompts that incorporate drawing, images of mountains, recipes, and objects in our own homes, we will explore characters, which may be ourselves, who wrestle with where they come from. Rather than critiquing, this workshop will focus on a sense of play and enable participants to conceive multiple sketches of a single character or sketches of multiple characters. Participants will have a greater understanding of how a character's sense of or lack of belonging influences the journeys they want to take, the stories they want to tell, and future homes they want to build.
