About this Event

In this course, we will reflect and diffract four facets within the experience of loving: sensations of love, queer love, the inner child, and heartbreak. The course will be particularly interesting to those curious about mixed arts practices and who want to sit with emotions, process in community, and create emergent meaning from lived experience.

You will come away with a deeper understanding of fragmentation as a rebellious writing practice in zine-making and learn about how love and lived realities intersect with epistemology and academia. There will be lots of time for (optional) sharing and discussion.

The texts that inform this offering include Audre Lorde's "Uses of the Erotic", adrienne maree brown's "Pleasure Activism", and Megan M. Burke's "Love as a Hollow: Merleau-Ponty's Promise of Queer Love". and methodology-wise, Lina Fadel's “(Re)writing the Fragmented Self".
