Queer Storytelling: We Have Always Been Here

Catalog description

For centuries, storytelling has been used as a way to connect with those around us and to bring others into our inner world. QTBIPOC communities use storytelling as a way to be recognized and carve our own space within a cis-heteronormative society. In this practice and discussion-based course, students will create visual stories drawing from their own life, memory and imagination. We will experiment with various mediums such as collage, mixed media, or video performance. By centering stories by QTBIPOC we can continue to subvert the dominant narrative and ultimately create a future where everyone belongs.
