Radically Tender: Embracing our own softness can feel impossible in a world which tells us we must develop hardness in order to survive. How can we allow ourselves to find the power in tenderness, in softness? This workshop explores the capabilities of tenderness, focusing on self-care and communal care, through writing exercises and group dialogue.
Ariana Brown is a queer Black Mexican American poet from San Antonio, Texas and the recipient of two Academy of American Poets Prizes and a 2014 collegiate national poetry slam champion.
Brown is the speaker for Latinx Heritage Month. This is also part of the Queer UChicago and Heritage Series from the Office of LGBTQ Student Life and Office of Multicultural Student Affairs. Supported by the University of Chicago Library, from a trust set up by William Martin Card.
