Welcome to Anti-capitalist Fiction, a six-session course where we'll explore the powerful stories of working class people and their resistance in literature. Access Funds are available below!

Through discussions, readings, and writing exercises, we'll practice, analyze and evaluate the techniques authors use to bring working class struggles and triumphs to life. We'll delve into the works of Langston Hughes, Octavia Butler, and Charles Bukowski, examining how they use literary devices to amplify working class experiences. You'll have the opportunity to practice these techniques in your own writing, receiving feedback and guidance from the teaching artist and your peers.

In-class discussions will follow the interests of the students, with the occasional comment from teacher. You'll explore examples of the techniques discussed in class and have time to practice them in a supportive and stimulating environment.

By the end of this course, you'll have a deeper understanding of anti-capitalist fiction and know more about how to write it. Let's explore the transformative power of storytelling together!
