Magazine Writing by Alison Williams https://padlet.com/alimwilliams/1nngchuf8a8ziydu Travel writing is much more than escaping to a faraway place and writing about exoticism. The best travel writing is when the writer brings you into the details of their journey, or tells you something about a place that you would never otherwise know. It’s about the writer using their experience as a lens on a different culture - or, turning a new lens on their own. Travel writing can explore identity, economic disparity, and social injustice. It can be deeply personal, and political. It can also be very fun. en-us 2021-04-30 19:02:44 UTC 2023-03-19 23:23:35 UTC hello@padlet.com Class Syllabus alimwilliams https://padlet.com/alimwilliams/1nngchuf8a8ziydu/wish/1479661425 This course will require you to be highly self-motivated and independent - just like a real magazine writer. As future magazine writers, you are expected to have ideas of your own that you want to write about. I suggest you write about subjects and ideas that interest you. Be curious.

For artists, this curiosity and awareness is tenfold. Many people find it difficult to talk to artists, to ask them questions, to even know where to start. I believe this is because capitalism confines the artist vision to the white suburban kid writing novels in his parent’s basement while living on their dime or the outcast destined to a life of no real creative validation. Where do black artists fit into this narrative? Trans artists? Disabled artists? Immigrant artists? Queer artists?

In so many ways, artists from marginalized backgrounds or artists that see the world vividly must find ways to love and hold and process and make their art in ways that aren’t dependent upon external capitalist validation. Where and how is there more?

The Creative Hours works to answer these questions. One artist at a time.”
