Upcoming Kundiman Events:
Fables and the Fantastic: Reimagining Realism with K-Ming Chang Craft Class
Saturday, April 16th
3:00 PM–6:00 PM ET
Fables and the Fantastic: Reimagining Realism is a generative seminar that takes inspiration from mythological and speculative elements in storytelling to reimagine what's possible in prose narratives. "Reality" is often rigidly defined by people in power, but this generative class will prompt students to imagine outside of typical categories of "realism" in order to access memory, mythology, history, transformation, and non-Western storytelling structures to write imaginatively and redefine reality in our stories. Participants will leave the class with new beginnings and drafts of stories from experimental writing exercises.

This craft class is open to all writers of color. The non-refundable tuition fee is $50. This class will be held over Zoom. There are scholarship spots available, and the applications are open through Monday, March 28th.
Registration for this class is now closed.
