SUMMARY:The Translingual Remix: A Practical Literary Translation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:An in-person workshop with Transversal\, co-sponsored by Blue Stoop and The Head & The Hand. \nTranslating literature into another language builds bridges and amplifies voices through shared stories. It’s also a challenging but highly rewarding creative practice that draws on skills like knowledge of multiple languages and cultures\, close reading and research\, and problem solving. In this workshop\, Emily Hunsberger (Mount Airy-based literary translator and member of Transversal\, Philadelphia’s literary translation collective) will help pull back the curtain on different approaches to the translation process\, guide participants through a practical exercise with literary texts\, facilitate an affirming conversation to reflect on the experience\, and suggest next steps for developing a personal translation practice. \nThis workshop is designed for folks with 1) an interest in creative writing and translation and 2) proficiency in English and at least one other language. No experience in literary translation is required\, and texts for the translation exercise will be provided by the facilitator. Participants will have the option to translate a text into English or into their other language(s). \nSpace is limited. All ticket proceeds benefit Blue Stoop and The Head & The Hand.

SUMMARY:After After After: Poetry Talk and Workshop with Sara Mae
DESCRIPTION:Poet Sara Mae will elucidate their writing process for their new chapbook\, Phantasmagossip. Sara Mae will lead participants in a discussion of the poems that inspire them to write and share from their own work. Centered primarily around visual poetry\, this is a workshop appropriate for writers of all levels. Bring a notebook and invite a friend! Light refreshments offered by the writer! \nRegistration on Eventbrite is required. There are two ticketing tiers\, one tier pay-what-you-can and one tier that includes a copy of Phantasmagossip. Copies of Phantasmagossip will be for sale at H&H Books\, too. (Note: This event will be held in H&H Books’ basement workshop\, which has stairs and is not ADA-accessible.) \nAbout the author: Sara Mae is a genderqueer writer raised on the Chesapeake Bay. They are a 2023 Big Ears Music Festival Artist Scholar\, a 2022 Tinhouse Summer Workshops Attendee\, a 2022 Open Mouth Attendee\, and a 2021 Sewanee Writer’s Conference Scholar. Their work appears in or is forthcoming from the Georgia Review\, POETRY\, The Offing\, and elsewhere. Their first chapbook\, Priestess of Tankinis\, is out via Game Over Books. Their second chapbook\, Phantasmagossip\, won the Vinyl45 chapbook competition and is forthcoming from YesYes Books in 2025. They write shimmery rock music as The Noisy. They received their MFA from UT Knoxville\, and currently live in Philly. You can find them on Instagram @veryverynoisy. \nAbout the book: Phantasmagossip by Sara Mae is a packed funeral. The poems mourn shouting over one another to tell a story\, squeezing hands of strangers and loved ones\, picking at the many homemade mac n cheeses. The game of the Exquisite Corpse\, usually played by many\, is used here as a way into polyvocality\, intimacy\, and remembrance. Here\, the poems infuse formal tradition with discomfort\, adapt the shapes of literary and queer ancestors\, speculate fleeting worlds of gender as the speaker sees theirs through and alongside best friends. Phantasmagossip does not romanticize death\, but instead grapples with the stakes of gendered violence and the simultaneous desire for pleasure\, dissecting accusations of dangerousness levied against women\, fems\, genderqueer speakers. The speakers seek acceptance of their own queer desires\, alongside the grief that being looked at and desired is not always the same as being seen.

SUMMARY:Mother Archive: Reading and Conversation with Erika Morillo and Irit Reinheimer
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Head and The Hand on February 20 at 7-8pm for a reading and conversation about Mother Archive\, the debut image-text memoir by writer and photographer Erika Morillo. Erika will be in conversation with Philly-based artist and writer Irit Reinheimer\, discussing the use of photography to understand mothering\, memory\, and identity in the context of the Dominican-American immigrant experience. Signed copies of the book will be available. \nBook Synopsis\nA family murder kept secret\, the mysterious disappearance of her father\, the systematic erasing of family photographs\, a turbulent relationship with her mother\, layers of trauma and abuse. In Mother Archive\, Erika Morillo reconciles these demons of her past by searching for and seeking out the roots of her family. Intertwining memories with archival family photographs\, news clippings\, film stills\, and artistic images\, Morillo revisits her childhood growing up in the Dominican Republic\, a place and time riddled with a history of violence and a tradition of erasure. \nSpanning three generations across three different countries\, this memoir works as a map in which the author traces incidents in her family history to help her understand herself and her own experience as a mother. \nErika Morillo\nErika Morillo is a writer and photographer born and raised in the Dominican Republic and based in Jersey City. Her work focuses on family narratives\, identity\, and the possibilities of image-text publications. Her photographs have been published and exhibited nationally and internationally and her photobooks are in the collections at the Whitney Museum of American Art Library and The International Center of Photography Library. She holds an MA in sociology from The New School for Social Research and an MFA from Image Text Ithaca. \nIrit Reinheimer\nIrit Reinheimer is an artist and writer based in Philadelphia. Irit’s films\, Young\, Jewish and Left\, How the Bridge Works\, I Told Her This Was Home\, and Of Origin\, have screened nationally and internationally.

Beyond her artistic practices\, Irit has worked for over a decade in communications for community-based projects and organizations focused on social change. She is also a long-time member of Jewish Voice for Peace.
