July 19 to 24, 2009 – Sunday 5:30 pm to Friday 1:30 pm
This is an opportunity for experienced writers to work with Shani Mootoo, an award-winning author, multi-media artist and video maker. The workshop will focus on the craft of writing and it will also explore assumptions we make as writers, look at ways our cultural base inserts itself into our work, and consider how our cultures translate in this new world of blending backgrounds. If our experience is that we write from a place of exile, what is our role in shaping our world?
This workshop offers a rhythm of intensive work, contemplative space, feedback and personal conferences, and a World Café at mid-week with Aaron Berhane who will examine “writing and exile.” Aaron was chief editor of Eritrea's leading newspaper before his dramatic escape into exile in Canada.
