"Remember the sky that you were born under, know each of the star's stories." This quote by the Muscogee Creek Nation writer Joy Harjo implores us to remember where we come from. In this home-based studio, students will explore writing and making using the stuff of their own lives and lineages as inspiration. Together we will mine ancestral stories, land histories, objects, and dream symbols as we attempt to reassess and refashion our own ideas of home. Projects will include illustrated ancestor journals, dream and site-inspired triptychs, inherited rituals, and more. Through our experiments in language and form, we will begin to build new containers for the past and conjure novel visions of the future. The work of artists and writers such as Kara Walker and Ocean Vuong will serve as our storytelling guides.
