Writing class war with a queer-punk-hard-femme lens. Immerse into the works and aesthetics of french queer punk lesbian icon Virginie Despentes.

In this workshop we will read excerpts of her works and generate new work inspired by her style, scope, and political thrust. Expect to spend half of class discussing, and half of class doing collaborative writing prompts.
