Collaboration, Social Justice, and Professional Empowerment: A Multi-Genre Workshop
Led by Kristina Marie Darling
The program is part of the POETRY – LITERATURE 21st CENTURY,applies under the 2023 International Program of the Ionion Center for the Arts & Culture
Program Overview:
Collaborations inevitably lead creative practitioners to reflect on their own voice, aesthetic choices, and their subject position, expanding one’s sense of what is possible in one’s own projects, even when working alone. Set in a gorgeous location in the Ionian Islands, Greece, this workshop will consider collaboration in service of social justice and professional empowerment. The program will be conducted in sites of extreme interest, such as the Medieval Castle & the Ancient Monuments as well in the Kefalonian beaches. We will place a particular emphasis on collaborating with those whose work differs significantly from one’s own in style, genre, perspective, worldview, and/or medium.

Program Dates: Tuesday, May 2nd – Wednesday May 10th 2023
