In recent years, it has become clearer than ever how capitalism has influenced our visions of ourselves as writers, creators, and members of our community. In this two hour, generative workshop, we will draw on anti-colonial texts to examine our relationships with issues like time, perfectionism, and productivity, and brainstorm practices that can help us heal ourselves and our creatives processes. We will leave with a set of concrete strategies that we can use immediately to help ourselves focus on our art rather than our productivity.
