¡Pájaros, lesbianas y queers, a volar!

FREE EVENT!

¡Pájaros, lesbianas y queers, a volar! is a free 6 week bilingual writing workshop that aims to generate writing for an upcoming LGBTQ anthology that depicts the LGBTQ Dominican experience on the island and the diaspora. The workshop is open to participants identified as part of the whole spectrum of gender and sexuality. The Dominican culture is inherently homophobic and through this workshop and consequently the publication, we are daring writers and readers to take flight, be visible, to leave their cages, raise their voices and be free.  The workshop will be framed through the country’s motto: Dios, Patria y Libertad, and how it applies to our community in areas such as gender and sexual expression, homophobia, transphobia, sexual rights, faith, race, identity, human rights and intersectionality. The genres the workshop will cover are poetry, essay, memoir and short fiction.
