That We Should Be Heirs Writing Workshop- 3/8/19

That We Should Be Heirs Writing Workshop
(Friday, March 8 2019) 5:30 PM – 7 PM @ Othello Commons
4200 S Othello St, Seattle, WA 98118-3843

A call to immigrant and refugee families to participate in a collaborative arts project from our colleagues at the Southeast Asia Center at the University of Washington:

• Refugees and immigrants are invited to contribute handwritten letters about their experiences as a method of alleviating burden and promoting healing. UW visiting artist Trinh Mai will then roll and bind these letters with string, forming a small scroll enclosing and concealing the words. These will be displayed as part of an art exhibit at Seattle’s Gould Gallery from April 3 – May 3.
• UW Faculty members Linh Nguyen and Jenna Grant will lead the workshop where you can write your story in a supportive, communal space. All are welcome to take part in this collaborative project for empowerment and voice, then view the exhibit. Paper and pencils will be provided.
