Border Tongues / Lenguas Fronterizas Writing Workshop

What does it mean to live and create between languages, cultures, and borders? This three-part writing series embraces bilingualism, the U.S.–Mexico border, and the rich, complex experiences of living between worlds. Through guided writing prompts, reflection, and community, we’ll explore the intersections of language, identity, memory, belonging, and translation. Attend one workshop or join us for all three. Each session stands on its own while also building on the last, offering returning participants the opportunity to deepen their writing, expand earlier pieces, and continue exploring new themes together. Whether you’re fluent in one language, many, or somewhere in between, this workshop welcomes all writers. Come write from the borderlands—the place where English and Spanish meet, where stories are carried across generations, and where language becomes both home and transformation.
