Workshop description over black text that says: With commonly known forms of western documentary and its history of exploitation, there are potential risk factors that can affect the way a community and/or self tells a story, such as including identifying information that endangers other community members, exposure of immigration status, unintentionally increasing surveillance of a community, and more. Drawing examples from Philip Metres, Tarfia Faizullah, and Dena Igusti's personal anecdotes of navigating state surveillance in post 9/11 New York City, we will explore docu-poetics, and how being able to place archives and oral history in poems allows emotional exploration and distills truths without fully compromising identity risks.

It truly is the best! A part of me wants to move back but it’s a hard decision to make for so many reasons. I’ve been going back more to see family and keep falling back in love with it 😩
