Ten Chapter 510 teen authors will be reading and performing pieces from our summer writing workshop.
Students will spend a week (re)mapping Oakland through their own "origin" stories, exploring identity, placemaking, space-taking(back), and mapping. The culmination: This is Oakland, a guidebook by young Oakland. |
Chapter 510 & the Dept of Make Believe is an Oakland tutoring and writing center for kids and teens (and a magical bureaucracy for all). Since 2013, Chp. 510 has been working in-schools, mentoring and making books with K-12 students. In 2015, they found their home at 2301 Telegraph and are in the process of building Oakland’s very first youth writing center.
