A writing workshop with Amanda Gutierréz.

RADIO MEMORIAL FOR GLORIA ANZALDUA JOIN US! To mark the 20th anniversary of Gloria Anzaldua's passing, Chicago Community Books and artist Amanda Gutiérrez invite the public to participate in a writing workshop honoring the late Chicana writer and activist. During this event, we will reflect on Gloria Anzaldúa's work through listening, reading, and writing.

We will engage, discuss, and hear about Anzaldúa's life and legacy, focusing on two chapters from Borderlands/La Frontera (1987), using auditory methods to explore ways of writing with sound.

Amanda Gutiérrez explores the experience of home, belonging, and cultural identity by bringing into focus details of everyday practices whose ordinary status makes it particularly hard for us to notice their key role in defining who we are. Trained and graduated initially as a stage designer from The National School of Theater, Gutiérrez uses a range of media such as sound art and performance art to investigate how these conditions of everyday life set the stage for our experiences and in doing so shape our individual and collective identities.
