Come to a supportive creative writing circle led by Carnegie Center of Columbia Tusculum’s Artist-in Residence Sherry Cook Stanforth.
Across generations and heritage identities, the idea of “home place” invites creative, diverse interpretations of historical and personal experiences. In the questing spirit of novelist and renown activist Harriet Beecher Stowe, we will explore the complexity of “home” experiences through a unique set of prompts. Each workshop session is designed to inspire reflective discussion, creative invention and supportive sharing. Themes include kin, friends and strangers; healing and foodways; migration and settlement; handed-down heritage traditions and artifacts; work and play; home landscapes and waterways.
