In this series of six free-standing workshops, we’ll look at writing the memoir from six different perspectives. Our inquiries will explore uncovering theme and sculpting a structure; we’ll look at different techniques access and write memories, teasing out why they are important and which matter to your story. In another session we’ll practice capturing and expanding small moments that carry deep meaning; and in another, delve into how to transit time through flashback, memory, and scene. Our explorations will review the effective use of voice moving from then to now and back again, and finally, we’ll consider various techniques of fiction writing that can bring our story alive. Participants can sign up for the entire series, select several workshops, or take any single course. The series of lectures will take place online via Zoom on Mondays from May 2 through June 20. Workshops include: • Monday, May 2 – Theme and Structure in Memoir • Monday, May 9 – Speak, Memory • Monday, May 16 – From Moments to Memoir • Monday, June 6 – I Then, I Now: Voices in Memoir • Monday, June 13 – Time in Memoir: A Chronology of Its Own • Monday, June 20 – Fiction Techniques in Memoir Register here!

"Thus the man who is responsive to artistic stimuli reacts to the reality of dreams as does the philosopher to the reality of existence: He observes closely, and he enjoys his observations; for it is out of these images that he interprets life, out of these processes that he trains himself for life." —Friedrich Nietzsche, "Twilight of the Idols" What is the importance of being human? I’m sure there will be many answers extolling the virtues of our greatness with human creativity, intelligence, naming inventions, cures for diseases, our love and compassion, etc. Are we also important because we self-reflect, we think about ourselves, and we think about others? We also know we are going to die. Yet, people still function every day like they are immortal and that itself could be looked upon as heroic. What matters? This workshop is an exploration of poetry (of others and ours) stimulated by these thoughts. We will read, write, philosophize, and write some more. Date | Sunday, May 1 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Location | Online via Zoom Register here!

In “Tomándome mi tiempo, conversaciones en la morada interior” you walk into a candlelit limbo, an in-between places, a liminal pocket of disfigured time and space. Here I meet with Santa Teresa and experience transcendental, faith fueled conversation with her, we find ourselves dismembered, lost, used. More a symbol than a home. I have wondered between the fibers I have found light in silence, I have found rebellion in whispers, autonomy in light touches. I invite you to have faith and walk the liminal space of mysticism and madness with me, and Santa Teresa. The opening reception takes place on Thursday, April 28 at 6 p.m. at the Performance Space, Visual Arts Facility UC San Diego. The exhibit will be available for the public at 3 p.m. on the following dates: • Friday, April 29 • Saturday, April 30 • Monday, May 2 • Tuesday, May 3 • Wednesday, May 4 • Thursday, May 5 For more information, please visit visarts.ucsd.edu/news-events/mariaantoniaeguiartesouza or call (858) 534-2230.
