[a 3-week summer online program; Thursdays starting 6/30 @ 7:30 pm EST / 4:30 PST]
Workshop Description: Delving into the lived experiences of participants, this workshop will introduce photo-voice research methods for composing poetic works. Using photography as means to consider narrative time, perspective, and spatiality, we will also examine photographic aspects of lyricism. Participants will also be encouraged to explore multimodal possibilities for conducting, archiving, and publishing generated works. The express focus of the workshop, however, will be in the production of new writing drawing from the wealth of participants’ experiences with photography at all levels.
Steven Alvarez is the author of The Codex Mojaodicus, winner of the Fence Modern Poets Prize. A sequel, Manhatitlán, is forthcoming from the Operating System in 2021.

Liminal Lab is committed to providing a source of income for our collaborators and facilitators in an increasingly precarious time for culture workers and educators. However, no one will ever be turned away for lack of funds. We ask that those who can pay the suggested price, and/or help cover the cost of scholarship slots in each of our programs by sponsoring other participants.
- Compare the below to the cost for a similar accredited workshop in a university setting (where most of the $$$ goes to institutional bloat): $850 — we show you this so we can begin to think about wtf is happening in our institutions, where both students and faculty get the short end of the stick.
- At a standard “Market Rate,” at arts orgs: $250*
- Recommended Sliding Scale: $30-50/session → $90-150 for the series
