SUMMARY:Body I Movement I Writing:  A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the Bureau\, for a free 90 minute writing workshop centering queer experiences on and around the dance floor. Hosted by writers McKenzie Wark and Jules Wernersbach. The workshop is free\, however\, advance registration is required. \nRegister for this workshop on Eventbrite. \nThe queer dance floor and the spaces around it are often sites of intense experiences\, as well as many very ordinary moments that can sustain or frustrate us—and sometimes at the same time. \nWhat kinds of writing can express what all of this feels like? What are the cliches to avoid? How do the unique experiences of queer life in motion call for their own modes of written expression? These are some of the questions we’ll be looking into in this workshop. \nWe will work with short extracts from our favorite texts as prompts\, followed by timed exercises and opportunities for discussion in breakout groups\, as well as among the larger group. \nBoth fiction and nonfiction writers are welcome\, beginners and experienced. Materials will be provided\, though feel free to bring your own notebook and pen\, or laptop. \nThis workshop is hosted by the Bureau\, Manhattan’s Queer Bookstore\, located inside of the NYC LGBT Center in Room 210. \n________________________________________ \nMcKenzie Wark is the author\, among other things\, of Raving (Duke University Press)\, Reverse Cowgirl (Semiotexte) and Love and Money\, Sex and Death (Verso). She co-curates the reading series Writing on Raving and co-edited the anthology from the series\, published by O/R Books. She co-edited the “Black Rave” issue of eflux journal with madison moore in 2022. \nJules Wernersbach is a writer and bookseller in Brooklyn. Their debut novel is Work to Do was published by University of Iowa Press. Their short fiction has been published in Bennington Review\, Heavy Feather Review\, and other journals.

SUMMARY:IN CONVERSATION: Terrell J. A. Winder & Theo Greene
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a discussion on the value of Black Queer Placemaking in shaping belonging and community in an era of shifting gay geographies. \nRSVP HERE \n\n\n\n\nJoin Terrell J. A. Winder (Shameless: The Making of Black Gay Identities in LA) and Theo Greene (Not in My Gayborhood: Gay Neighborhoods and the Rise of the Vicarious Citizen) for a conversation on Blackness\, Queerness\, visibility\, and their intersections. \n— \nTerrell J. A. Winder received his Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of California\, Los Angeles in 2017. An urban ethnographer\, Dr. Winder’s research areas include race & ethnicity\, sexuality & sexual health\, qualitative & quantitative research methods\, and education. His current research examines stigma response processes among stigmatized populations negotiating more than one stigma simultaneously. His research has been published in Qualitative Sociology\, AIDS Patient Care & STDs\, the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities\, and the Journal of Medical Internet Research. His work on mobile applications as a health intervention has also been covered in the Los Angeles Times. His book\, Shameless: The Making of Black Gay Identities in LA\, is a multi-method examination of anti-gay stigma response among young Black gay men in Los Angeles. \nTheo Greene is an Associate Professor and Chair in the Department of Sociology at Bowdoin College. His research and teaching interests focus on the intersection of sexuality\, urbanism\, and culture. Greene’s research broadly explores how sexual communities help us understand how urban redevelopment shapes and redefines how individuals think about\, identify with\, and participate in local communities. His book\, Not in MY Gayborhood! Gay Neighborhoods and the Rise of the Vicarious Citizen recently received the 2026 Outstanding Book Award in Community and Urban Sociology from the American Sociological Association.
