Writing Queer Autofiction

About

19th, 21st, 23rd, 26th & 28th November | 2023 | 5.30pm - 7pm
Nottingham Contemproary
Free

This 5 session writing workshop and performance will explore the many different ways of expressing identity and trauma through autofiction, a form of writing that is situated between the autobiographical and the fictional, a genre that has been favoured by queer writers.

Discussing and drawing inspiration from famous autofiction writers like Ocean Vuong, Barbara Browning, Eileen Myles, Carmen Maria Machado, Chris Kraus and more, this writing workshop will focus every session on a different format that has become synonymous with the genre, like diary and letter writing or using art criticism as an autobiographical text.

The sessions are open to all and no previous experience is required.
