Q.M. Zhang
Q.M. Zhang is a writer and founder of Q.M. Zhang | MemoryWorks, a creative research & writing practice for individuals and communities who are trying to reclaim histories that have been censored, silenced, or erased. This practice grew out of three decades of teaching on the borders of social science and creative writing, and the making of her award-winning book, Accomplice to Memory (Kaya Press, 2017), which combines memoir, fiction, and documentary photographs to explore intergenerational silences and omissions in her immigrant family history. In 2020, Zhang launched MemoryWorks as a collective space for next gen writers: children of migrants & refugees, descendants of Indigenous & enslaved people, offspring of settlers & slavers—all who write in order to understand their proximity to history. Zhang serves as an Advisory Editor to The Massachusetts Review and is an Associate Professor Emerita of Cultural Psychology & Creative Nonfiction at Hampshire College.

Writing into Silence: Creative Tools and Hybrid Forms of Memory Work with Q.M. ZhangHave you been quietly gathering remains of the past: a scribbled letter, a mysterious photograph, a fragment of a memory of a conversation? Are you trying to write your history only to find the stories you’ve been told are not true, and parts have been left out? Join Q.M. Zhang in this workshop series to experiment with creative tools and hybrid forms for writing into intergenerational silence, historical omission, and other erasures of the past. Work with conventional archival sources in unconventional ways, and draw on uncommon sources—secrets, lies, dreams, hauntings—in order to get closer to truth. |
