This essay uses autopoetic narrative and reflexivity to unpack the possibilities of autoethnographic research and writing rooted in the spirit of collaboration. We reflect on the experience of a workshop centering collaborative autoethnography. Specifically, our reflection attunes to the affective and viscerality generated during and after collective exploration of the stakes within the moment. Overall, the essay explores (re)membering contentious realities of home, navigating the weight to produce under the constraints of systemic oppression , and the challenges of working together and in community.
