Reading and Creative Writing Workshop with Writer in Residence Tochukwu Okafor

The combination of artist talk and writing workshop is to invite the public into Tochukwu’s process as a writer and to offer an opportunity to develop a fresh idea for a story. Creative writing is often seen as an elusive endeavor, meant for only the gifted or those with the innate ability to create worlds out of nothing. Through open discussion, questions-and-answers, sharing of personal experiences, and workshopping, Tochukwu hopes to leave the audience with the inspiration to write and create art, irrespective of age, background, or socio-economic standing.

Registrants will need to bring your own notebook and pens.

Tochukwu is a 2021 Emerging Voices Fellow, an initiative of PEN America.
