DRAWING THE DRAFT: A Pop-up Installation & Hybrid Workshop with Emilly PradoSunday, June 29, 2025 | 6:00–8:30 PM | Lemelson Innovation Studio + Google Meet Livestream | FREE | REGISTER NOW!

Step into the messy, intimate, nonlinear, and deeply generative space of creative practice with writer and artist Emilly Prado for DRAWING THE DRAFT, a hybrid pop-up installation and interactive workshop exploring the behind-the-scenes making of her memoir-in-progress, OUTLINES.

Blending literary and visual forms, Prado demystifies her journey of creating a as-of-now hybrid memoir, sharing early and ongoing experiments in blackout, weaving, collage, and storyboarding. Rather than presenting a polished product, this event celebrates the act of making—one mark, one sentence, one image at a time. Through a short artist talk, interactive making stations, and community conversation, participants will be encouraged to explore the in-between: the drafts, the fragments, the visual experiments, and the uncertainties that shape a work-in-progress.

This event is for artists, writers, creatives, and curious folks of all levels. Come ready to play, reflect, and make alongside others. Soundtrack provided by DJ Mami Miami. All materials provided, registration required. Free and open to the public!

In Conversation with Wendy C. Ortiz
2025-07-30 19:00 - 20:00 | Powell’s City of Books, 1005 W Burnside St, Portland, Oregon, 97209, United States
Author Wendy C. Ortiz joins us to present her newly reissued books, Excavation, Bruja, and Hollywood Notebook. A darkly vibrant and daring memoir, Ortiz’s Excavation (Northwestern University Press) challenged the standard telling of abuse narratives when first published in 2014; over a decade later, it remains deeply prescient. Set in Los Angeles’s San Fernando Valley in the late 1980s, the narrative follows the spiraling entanglement between Ortiz and her eighth-grade English teacher as she becomes both victim to and participant in a simultaneously predatorial and impassioned relationship. Dubbed a “dreamoir,” Bruja (Northwestern) is a bold and harrowing journey through the dream worlds of Ortiz. Sister memoir to Hollywood Notebook, it catalogs the happenings of the night: strange visions of the past warped by present-day inklings; animals running loose, never where they should be; familiar nature and architecture made malleable and new. A daylight traipse through early-aughts Los Angeles, Hollywood Notebook (Northwestern) encapsulates the powerful feelings and hopeful futures of twentysomething Ortiz. In this boundary-defying sister memoir to Bruja, Ortiz navigates internal maps as she traverses external palm-treed streets, moving through her youthful twenties and into the pensiveness of her thirties. Ortiz will be joined in conversation by Emilly Prado, author of Funeral for Flaca.

Facilitator of The Shape of a Feeling: Experiments in Lyric Essay and Hybrid Forms
2025-08-09 09:00 - 12:00 | Zoom
Hosted by Tin House Craft Intensives via Zoom. What happens when a story refuses to stay linear? Sometimes that story needs to be told slant—or squiggly, or sparsely, or outside the margins entirely. In this generative craft intensive, we’ll explore hybrid and lyric forms that blur the line between poetry and prose, image and text, memory and imagination. We’ll look at writers who try to define the undefinable, and who follow the threads of their truths outside chronology by looking to fragments, letters, and lists.

We’ll read work that resists neat classification but may be referred to as hermit crabs, braids, essayettes, hermit crabs, and/or epistolary by writers such as Chet’la Sebree, Traci Brimhall, Chelsea Biondolillo, Randon Billings Noble, Ross Gay, Elissa Washuta, Carmen Maria Machado, and Anna Joy Springer, among others.

Through short writing bursts, close readings, and playful experimentation, you’ll be invited to try on new forms—or invent your own. This intensive is a rich springboard for writers feeling stuck or simply seeking fresh inspiration and new ways of seeing. While we won’t be able to cover every possibility, you’ll walk away with a robust reading list and plenty of generative starts to fuel future experiments. All genres and experience levels are welcome. Come ready to write, explore, and delight in the expansive possibilities of form. Hosted via Zoom. Snag a seat before it’s sold out!

Facilitator of What If We Blurred Genre In This Speculative Nonfiction Class?
2025-10-22 16:00 - 2025-11-12 18:00 | Zoom
Hosted by Corporeal Writing, held over four Wednesdays beginning October 22nd via Zoom from 4-6PM PST (10/22, 10/29, 11/5, 11/12) (All sessions will be recorded and recordings shared with registrants for a limited time afterwards.)

Sometimes the truth is too painful. Sometimes our access to facts has been erased by memory, by power. And sometimes “what if” can open a door to deeper vulnerability than “what happened” alone. In this generative writing class, we’ll explore how nonfiction writers bend genre to tell their true stories with a speculative slant. Together, we’ll dive into the beautifully blurry space between memory and imagination, examining how speculation can illuminate truths that remain obscured by pain, erasure, or silencing. We’ll study hybrid and creative nonfiction works from the likes of Saidiya Hartman, Jami Nakamura Lin, and Maxine Hong Kingston, and engage in playful but powerful writing exercises like imagining alternate timelines, writing the imagined self, and extended metaphors. You’ll leave with new tools to stretch form and conjure the unspeakable.
