Workshop, 2021
Zoe Imani Sharpe, Cason Sharpe & Yaniya Lee
Citations can be feminist bricks: they are the materials through which, from which, we create our dwellings. —— Sara Ahmed
When approached as praxis, the act of referencing becomes kaledescopic. How do we find, pull and build our references? How do we know where to look? Zoe Imani Sharpe, Cason Sharpe and Yaniya Lee are writers who are also siblings. Sparring, joking and caring for one another as kin, they know citation as an intimate endeavour, where the act of bringing together disparate materials is abundant and wayward. In this workshop, they share the development of their own collective canon and engage participants in collaborative writing that explores the resonances and contradictions of our personal reference banks.
Pre-recorded conversations/Milanote board available upon request.
