Workshop with Vital Matters: Writing with the Elements, a Generative Workshop

Get expert tips on incorporating climate activism into creative writing!

Local theater-for-climate-justice organization Vital Matters hosts Jacob Budenz in this 3-hour writing workshop in the gardens of the Ivy.

Burgeoning climate activists and seasoned environmental writers alike may wonder where to begin when faced with the mammoth task of tackling climate change through writing. In this generative workshop, queer author and performance artist Jacob Budenz will provide resources, space, and time to write with the elements, sharing tips on weaving climate activism into creative writing, making the political personal and the personal political, and creatively engaging with the existential threats to the natural world with an eye toward hope and connection.

Located in the gardens of the Ivy Bookshop, Writing with the Elements will immerse participants in climate writing alongside the elements they wish to protect, offering participants the opportunity to share their writing around a fire at the workshop’s culmination.
