CREATIVE WORKSHOPS

In these community-based creative workshops, we will explore the many levels and styles of creative modes, including writing, poetry, calligraphy, and more. We will be exploring themes of identity, family, movement/migration, myths/folklore, protest, love, and more. Additionally, we will be using the gallery space to unify storytelling and art by looking at the historical connections between visual and literary art.

More information on other workshops coming soon!
