SUMMARY:Queer Writers Circle - Black History Month Special
DESCRIPTION:🖤 Black History Month Writing Workshop 🖤
Self-Conscious Living & Black Lesbian Feminist Joy \n\n\n\nThis February\, Queer Writers Circle Vienna is centring Black history\, Black feminist thought\, and Black queer joy through poetry. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Jessica Nogueira Varela\, this interactive workshop engages with Audre Lorde’s lectures and poetry readings in Germany (1984–1992)—a period when Lorde lived\, taught\, and wrote as a Black lesbian feminist migrant in Western Europe. \n\n\n\nTogether\, we’ll explore poetry not as something to perfect\, but as Lorde described it: a way of living self-consciously and a tool for expanding our political imagination beyond the present moment. Working with poems like “Stations” and “Today is Not the Day”\, we’ll reflect on self-definition\, accountability\, care\, and the building of collective spaces for joy—even\, and especially\, in difficult times. \n\n\n\n✨ Feeling-first reading & writing
✨ Poetry as survival\, pleasure\, resistance\, and presence
✨ No prior writing experience needed \n\n\n\nThroughout the session\, participants may (if they choose) contribute to a collectively created\, process-based Zine that circulates during the workshop. Contributions can be anonymous\, multilingual\, visual\, and/or textual. The Zine is built only from work already created in the space and is understood as a temporary\, consent-led collective artefact rather than a publication — echoing Audre Lorde’s pedagogy of solidarity\, joy\, and self-conscious living. \n\n\n\nThis space centres BIPOC voices and explicitly welcomes Black participants\, queer folks\, migrants\, and multilingual writers. White queer folks are welcome with care\, listening\, and accountability. Sharing is always optional; participants are invited to engage only to the extent that feels right for them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n📍 Villa Vida Café\, Linke Wienzeile 102\, Vienna
 \n\n\n\n⏰ Friday February 6th\, 2026\, 18:00-21:00 (with a short break)
 \n\n\n\n💸 Free / donation-based—no donation is necessary
 \n\n\n\n🥨 Snacks available (donation-based). Snacks to share are very welcome but not expected.
 \n\n\n\n♿ Accessibility: Stair-free entrance with ramp available. Accessible bathroom \n\n\n\nLet joy\, solidarity\, and imagination lead. 🖤✍🏾
