SUMMARY:Letters to the Future: Creative Writing and Zine-Making Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Discover epistolary poetry & zine-making as tools for self-expression\, healing\, & historical truth in this workshop led by local artists.\n\n\nCentering poetry as a tool for self-expression and community connection\, this workshop will guide participants through the art of epistolary poetry and zine-making. In the first half\, spoken word artist and writer Kirwyn Sutherland will lead writing prompts and exercises to support participants in crafting personal and poetic narratives that reflect their intersectional identities. In the second half\, visual artist josh graupera will demonstrate simple folding and stapling techniques to help participants transform their poems and diary-style writings into handmade zines.* \n \nThis workshop is part of a broader community series offered through the collaboration between Ourchive and visual artist Levester Williams and supported by Monument Lab. It aims to deeply engage the Germantown neighborhood around the powerful and resonant story of the late Hercules Posey\, George Washington’s enslaved cook who courageously escaped. Germantown\, known both for its painful legacy of slavery and its landmark role in America’s first recorded anti-slavery protest\, offers a potent space for exploring themes of historical preservation\, social justice\, and creative resistance. \n \nAt the heart of these events is the belief that individual narratives are powerful tools in safeguarding historical truth\, especially during a time when censorship and revisionist pressures threaten collective memory. Participants will not only create personal artifacts\, but also contribute to a collective effort to creatively preserve and honor untold stories that shape our communities. \n \nFree and open to all. Light refreshments provided. \nSpots are limited—please register in advance to reserve your place. \n \n*By attending this event\, I consent to OHCC/6S\, Monument Lab\, and Ourchive photographing or filming me and my guests\, and I authorize them to use these images for any lawful purpose\, including publicity and digital or print media\, with or without my name.
