MemoryWorks workshops provide a month-long structured yet intimate space for participants to delve into their own memory work projects, experiment with creative re-search tools and hybrid forms of writing, and generate new writing in a community of fellow writers, artists, and creatives.


Each month-long workshop includes:

  • 3-hour weekly meetings over Zoom (usually on a Friday afternoon)

  • readings and examples of memory work by “next gen” writers and artists

  • in-class guided writing and take-home writing provocations

  • a safe and supportive space to write together, give and receive feedback, and share resources with other memory workers

In addition, participants may choose to add on a one-on-one consult with Kim.

Whether you are just beginning to ask questions of your past, or you have begun
the work of turning over soil and gathering remains, these workshops will offer you creative tools for digging into the gaps between what you’ve been taught to remember, what has been buried or disappeared, and what you have to imagine in order to get closer to truth.

Registration is now open for
WORKING WITH UN/COMMON SOURCES!

WORKING WITH UN/COMMON SOURCES


May 9, 16, 23, 30, 2025
3:00-6:00 PM EST

This workshop is for anyone who has been quietly gathering remains of the past and looking for creative ways to work with your source materials.

During our time together, we will work with conventional sources (documents, photos, letters, transcripts) in unconventional ways, and draw on sources often dismissed as “unreliable” (secrets, lies, propaganda, dreams, hallucinations, hauntings) in order to get closer to truth. We will experiment with creative, hybrid forms of writing that offer novel ways of entering, imagining, and reckoning with the silences of the past.

Each three-hour session will introduce you to the work of other next gen writers and artists, offer creative research exercises and guided writing prompts, and provide a space to workshop your writing with an amazing group of fellow memory workers.
