Make sure to register for this year’s Poetry and Creative Arts Festival to attend Raina León's exciting workshop, Dance Free Those Dry Bones!
"We are all going to die" is a common line in films about apocalypses. Fueled by population decline, disease, vampires, the impending doom of a meteor, climate crises, zombies, a Thanos snap, robots that self-replicate and use humans as batteries, or just 2012 as a whole year, we all know the end is coming. Or is it here? What if we say, yes to an end and yes to beginnings? What if we can even dance and write and paint new worlds into creation? Energy never dies; it transforms. In this workshop, we will study science fiction (in fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and visual arts) alongside real life examples of people imagining and creating new worlds. We really will dance y'all, and paint ourselves some skies and write bridges to new stars. Ultimately, apocalypse means great revelation. Let's see what we will reveal!
