VISIBLE HISTORIES: A WRITER'S GYM

w/ Melissa Range, winner of the 2025 Vanderbilt Literary Prize

 In the words of the queer southern archival organization Invisible Histories, “archiving is resistance to oppression and history leads to liberation.” In this 90-minute Writer’s Gym, we’ll take this statement as our mantra as we dig into archives of all kinds to excavate stories of resistance and liberation. Looking at images and documents from the past, we’ll try out different ways of transforming history into poetry using ekphrasis and found text. All materials will be provided, including archival images and texts on a variety of social justice-related topics.

Special Thanks to VUP + Melissa Range
