Rooted in the Twi concept of Sankofa, this workshop invites you to "go back and retrieve" the forgotten wisdom of the past to build a more intentional future. Guided by the transformative voices of Black and African feminist thinkers—from Octavia E. Butler to Audre Lorde—you will explore language and memory-keeping as vital tools for world-building and self-preservation. Through daily grounding rituals and creative exercises, you will transform unformed stories into a living practice of reflection and radical imagination. The journey culminates in the creation of a personal artifact, such as a zine or manifesto, that honors your unique creative voice and preserves your contribution to the collective memory.
Session dates: June 15, 18, 22, and 25, 2026
