In this genre-bending writing workshop, participants will explore their life experiences, extracting relevant material that could be molded into poetry, flash fiction and non-fiction at the intersection of creative freedom and censorship, thus exposing personal bias and socio-political injustice as we reclaim our right to be.

Mi favorita de siempre, la suma de todas las cosas que nos llevan a la sabiduría. Marguerite Yourcenar, la imprescindible, te he leído en muchos idiomas y lo que sigo aprendiendo de usted trasciende la existencia misma. Ya ves, ni siquiera la muerte te librará de haber conocido el sufrimiento de ser humano.

My all-time favorite, the sum of all things that lead us to wisdom. Marguerite Yourcenar, the essential, I have read you in many languages ​​and what I continue to learn from you transcends existence itself. You see, not even death will free you from having known the suffering of being human.

"No desprecio a los hombres. Si así fuera no tendría ningún derecho, ninguna razón para tratar de gobernarlos. Los sé vanos, ignorantes, ávidos, inquietos, capaces de cualquier cosa para triunfar, para hacerse valer, incluso ante sus propios ojos, o simplemente para evitar sufrir. Lo sé: soy como ellos, al menos por momentos, o hubiera podido serlo. Entre el prójimo y yo las diferencias que percibo son demasiado desdeñables como para que cuenten en la suma final. Me esfuerzo pues para que mi actitud esté tan lejos de la fría superioridad del filósofo como de la arrogancia del César. Los hombres más opacos emiten algún resplandor: este asesino toca bien la flauta, ese contramaestre que desgarra a latigazos la espalda de los esclavos es quizá un buen hijo; ese id**ta compartiría conmigo su último mendrugo. Y pocos hay que no puedan enseñarnos alguna cosa. Nuestro gran error está en tratar de obtener de cada uno en particular las virtudes que no posee, descuidando cultivar aquellas que posee."

M. Yourcenar. Memorias de Adriano.
Traducción: Julio Cortázar.
