Venus flytrap background. EJ Haley and ALOCASIA present Strange Hungers: Queering Desire through Carnivorous Plants. June 13 at 3pm EST. Free, virtual on Zoom. This cross-genre generative workshop will invite participants to examine their hungers through the lens of carnivorous plants. Drawing from the works of Kimiko Hahn and A.L. Goldfuss, as well as the care and maintenance of these unique plants, this workshop asks the participant to engage with their hungers, map their desires, and leap forward—unafraid—into strange territories. All genres welcome.

Tickets are now available for the first and second installations of the ALOCASIA Summer Creative Writing Workshop Series, led in May by Ashely Adams, and in June by EJ Haley! RSVP on Eventbrite to reserve your free tickets!
