The South Asian diaspora has a rich and varied literary heritage, one steeped in formal traditions, in experimentation that challenges traditions, in collaboration, in rigor, and in playfulness. This multigenre workshop will help South Asian writers reclaim their roots and stretch beyond them, developing authentic voices rather than feeding into an imaginary fetishized South Asian monolithic consciousness. We will do so through generative prompts, a diverse range of sample texts, group discussions, multimodal play, and collaborative exercises. Hopefully, in the process, we will build a community that encourages risks, makes space for vulnerability, and offers generous feedback.
