WRTN/SPKN is a creative writing and zine making project at the Triangle Prgram, Canada’s only high school for LGBT (queer and trans) spectrum students.
For several
weeks, we explored creative writing (particularly memoir) through practices
including free association, “cut-up,” word strings, found poetry, and
collaborative writing. We experimented with voice and form, and the
relationship between the written and spoken, and visually explored word. Throughout
our creative process, students were encouraged to claim their place as
storytellers. I provided guidance for the work being produced, but students’
areas of interest (themes and motifs) led the project. Our work together
culminated in the production and presentation of individual zines. --Anna Camilleri
