Stories
We are stories, and we share them at the Studio. For those of you who missed hearing them, I share them here. Enjoy!
Making Multicultural Visible
In 2022 I applied for a research grant to explore how we can make “multicultural” visible in our cities. Other than people in the streets, bus stops, and names of restaurants, in what other way could we reflect the multicultural nature of our residents so they can see themselves and each other and be excited by the vibrancy of it all?
Mixing Stories as we Pause
The AWG was the place where I watched my stories mix with those of others. I looked for my own discomfort as an Indian writer amongst American writers. I noticed the discomfort and confusion my stories brought the others. I learned there what I would change about my writing and what I would keep. That’s where I learned about structure, flow, and what was unique about my stories. That’s where I found my voice.
An important part of the Studio’s work is the mixing stories. As we complete 11 years of the Studio, we find new ways to mix stories.
