In this creative writing workshop, we will explore the themes of representation, reflection, and identity in contemporary American culture by drawing inspiration from portraits in The Outwin 2022: American Portraiture Today. The workshop will include guided writing prompts and discussion, and will encourage participants to explore diverse perspectives and lived experiences. Open to writers of all levels who are 18+.
