 Exploring Queer Stories Through Art and Literature, with Finnian Burnett We are excited and honoured to have special guest Finnian Burnett with us for an afternoon exploring LGBTQ+ art history and how it can inform our flash fiction (and other writing.) This workshop is for anyone! There are incredible stories to discover in the works of gay, lesbian, and transgender artists. We will take a whirlwind journey through art to look at voices that have been forgotten or ignored, and look closely at several artists. Finnian will talk about ways to make our stories inclusive, realistic, authentic, and natural with queer characters and themes. We will have some exercises to help you gather ideas, create characters, and begin some drafts. Dr. Finnian Burnett is a creative writing professor and well known flash fiction writer in British Columbia. They have taught flash fiction classes for the Crow Collective, the Wisconsin Writer's Association, Herstry, the Wine Country Writer's Festival, When Words Collide, Golden Crown Literary Society, Inkstacks for Writers, and much more. Craft, plot, and inclusivity and just a few of their specialties. Finnian's recent novella in flash is The Clothes Make the Man (Ad Hoc Fiction) and another is on the way. Their stories are constantly placing in flash fiction contests, including recently the longlist for the prestigious CBC prize, and first place at Blank Spaces Magazine.
