Workshop Description:

Back Talk: Queer & Trans Futures Workshop is a spoken word poetry workshop for everyone, regardless of past creative writing experience. This poetry workshop encourages participants to reflect on who they are and what they love. We will explore what the ideal future for queer & trans people could look like, while also reflecting on things we currently have. This is a writing space for imagining futures, dedications to community care and self-love, telling our stories and what it means to create loving and gentle spaces together. Prior to the writing workshop, facilitators will share with the group the impact the Back Talk program has had, and a couple of Back Talk Collective members will share a piece of their poetry.
