Writing Food and Identity

with Lesley Téllez​

​

Friday, September 10

Online

2:00 - 4:00pm EDT

Cost: $27

 

How does food inform our identities and those of the characters we create -- or report on -- in our writing? In this session we'll explore the ways we can successfully weave food into our writing, and why it's important, both from a storytelling and a cultural perspective. We'll touch on food writing and storytelling as a way to combat erasure, a way to reflect on loss, and a way to challenge dominant narratives. We'll also generate new material that will leave us all feeling inspired to write more about food.
