Open Writing Circle
Unpleansant writing with Amir Naaman

Free event with registration
For LGBTQIA+

How do we write about what is unpleasant, ugly, provocative and annoying? Is there a difference between being offensive and trolling? What works of fiction from the past can we look back on for inspiration?
After a short introduction about the tradition of the transgressive in literature, we will workshop how to write about the forbidden using today’s most touchy subjects.

Recommended reading before worshop:
Everything that rises must converge by Flannery O’Connor.

ABOUT OPEN WRITING CIRCLE
Words and stories reside within all of us, waiting to be discovered.
Our monthly Open Writing Circle invites people with all levels of writing experience to explore their creativity and imagination.
In each session, one of Berlin’s many exceptional writers, poets, artists, or curators will create a vibrant and collective learning experience.
Whether you’re interested in fiction, memoir, non-fiction, or poetry, this supportive space encourages you to uncover the words within you. We’ll draw upon techniques used in writing workshops to unleash your innate talent in a collaborative environment that will allow for a dynamic exchange of ideas and insights.
This workshop aims to create an affirming, playful and empowering space for queer people to explore, express and celebrate their identities as well as to provide a platform for the stories of the LGBTQIA+ community to be shared, heard and valued.

General information
⁠Level: No previous experience is necessary.
Language: while the group is primarily conducted in English, you are welcome to write in any language you feel comfortable with.

⁠We also invite all writers to consider leading a future session—please contact us for more information
