Using the online collections digitally published by The Amon Carter Museum of American Art, this session will ask each attendee to sift through online collections shared by The Amon Carter in Fort Worth. Together, we will pull what we consider to be the most feminist pieces, we will contemplate why, craft our accounts of these pieces separately and together in order to reproduce a feminist gallery to be presented online, and perhaps in-person to the education department of The Amon Carter.

Play: Flowing with Writing: Utilizing Contemplative Writing Pedagogies of Yoga to Achieve Clarity and Rethink The Body as Tools http://feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/2015/03/27/play-flowing-with-writing-utilizing-contemplative-writing-pedagogies-of-yoga-to-achieve-clarity-and-rethink-the-body-as-tools/ Fri, 27 Mar 2015 18:46:33 +0000 http://feminismstexas2015.thatcamp.org/?p=225

Throughout the country, “Wring & Write Workshops” are cropping up to empower women to tell their stories. In higher education, contemplative writing pedagogy is on the rise as writing scholars, such as Christy Wenger and Carolina Mancuso, write about the body as it moves through the classroom, as it writes, and as it reaches greater insight through yoga. The stop, drop, and yoga approach to teaching is rather rogue, though, even after a few years of writing and practice. In this session, we will begin with very beginner, light yoga movements to warm up our bodies, our minds, we will write, we will flow with ideas and intentions, and we will discuss the insights we come to for having flowed into writing with our bodies.
