Location: Discussion Room

Facilitator: Fiona Raye Clarke

Capacity: 15 (Please register in advance)

‘Making Home’ is a two-hour creative writing workshop based on the Amherst Writers & Artists (AWA) Method developed by Pat Schneider. It is designed to allow for safe creative expression and to reinforce the unique voice and self-esteem of the writer. Throughout the workshop, participants will explore their stories of home, celebrating what makes them feel at home, and envisioning what home looks like to them, real or imagined. Participants will create a suite of creative writing pieces through a process of timed writing exercises, sharing, giving positive feedback, and art-making using homemade poetry prompt templates, visual art, and collage materials.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Indigenous, Black and People of Colour communities are disproportionately underrepresented in all media. How do past images unearthed from personal and institutional archives come to shape new stories?

The Home Made Visible tour brings a personal lens to Indigenous and visible minority archives through FREE exhibitions, screenings, and workshops in libraries across Canada. Visit HomeMadeVisible.ca/Tour
