In our first project as new members, MICE is beyond excited to present Short Truths: A Creative Writing Workshop on SUNDAY, MAY 10, at 2PM: a FREE creative writing workshop this led by curator Alyssa C. Fearon and researcher, activist, and artist Alexa Potashnik. This workshop is co-presented with the Art Gallery of Southwestern Manitoba (AGSM). This project is part of a series of online workshops that depart from Liz Ikiriko and Anique Jordan's collective text . The piece was written for our last issue, , which focused on strategic refusals of the objectifying and consumptive gaze or encounter, as read through the changing positioning and practice of contemporary Afro-diasporic art. This text will act as a starting point to discuss and collaboratively build on themes of correspondence, fragmentary writing, unfinished thoughts, and the possibilities of intimacy and tactile engagement through virtual means. is a letter between friends, a manifesto, an unfinished project, research, a stream of consciousness, and an open space for informal considerations of home, relationships, and belonging. Capacity is limited! To register, visit the link below:
