Lia Purpura’s Workshop and Craft Talk

Writing Through the Anthropocene

The world we find ourselves inhabiting and the circumstances we’re facing threaten to silence even the most resilient writer. But what might come of looking deeply at the unbeautiful, the overlooked, worn, and even the ruined?  What happens when you enter the act of looking so deeply you unexpectedly find yourself in a new place, with a surprising stance or changed belief?

What if the idea of tenderness as a response to the destructive habits of our era were taken up as a possibility in the face of fear and anxiety? What if we saw alternative forms of beauty in the wreckage?  In this talk I’ll look at some techniques I’ve discovered that have helped me engage with the often ruinous and breathtaking results of climate change and propose some ways into the issue at large that might help sustain creative energy for the long haul.
