This past August, 14 LGBTQ+-identified writers from the Columbia area gathered inΒ @uofsclibrariesΒ Hollings Library for a writing workshop led byΒ @edmaddensc. The purpose of the workshop was to use writing to illuminate the queer archives available for public use, including Historic Columbia's LGBTQ Columbia History Initiative. Following the workshop, writers were given a month or so to write and think about their queer historiesβengaged with the past, driven by the present moment, and looking toward the future.π«
This writing was compiled into the chapbook that was released during SC Pride 2023.
Special thanks toΒ #JosephBruceΒ for funding this meaningful project, toΒ @scpridemovementΒ for co-hosting and promoting the event, and toΒ @curiositycoffeebarΒ for your hospitality!
