"In just a few lines [a person can deliver] an emotional resume, a lineage of family, a history of trauma and resilience, a narrative far more personal and revealing than any standard self introduction." -Reagan Jackson, The Seattle Globalist
REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
Please send an email with your full name and age to natashamarin7@gmail (dot) com to register for the FREE Community Workshop from 2 - 5 p.m. on April 26th at NAAM (2300 S Massachusetts St. Seattle 98144).
The workshop will have 3 parts:
2:00 - 3:00 p.m.
During this time, you will have the opportunity to work closely with local literary celebs, Anastacia Tolbert, Evan Peterson, and Harold Taw to create your own Red Lineage poem. Please bring a notebook and something to write with.
3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
Once you have created your unique Red Lineage poem, you will receive guidance from project archivists, Lara Davis (sound), Naomi Ishisaka (photography), and Zac Buschmohle (videography) to record your Red Lineage as part of this global project.
4:00 - 5:00 p.m.
During the final hour, participants will have the opportunity to share their Red Lineages aloud. Performers, Sadiqua Crutcher, Daemond Arrindell, and Shoko Zama will facilitate this "choral reading" using both sound and movement (meaning you don't have to read solo unless you want to, your voice will be safely "tucked in" with others).
