About this Event

As a writer, how do you honor the people you most cherish? How do you pay tribute to your ancestors? In this creative writing workshop, we will draw inspiration from the “One Life: Maya Lin” exhibition, a survey of the architect, sculptor and environmentalist’s life and work, to explore our own personal histories in connection with our families or chosen communities. The work will incorporate techniques focused on memoir writing and personal reflection. Open to writers of all levels, ages18+.

The Portrait Gallery strives to provide programs that are accessible to all visitors. If you have questions about the accessibility of this program, or if you would like to request real-time captioning (CART), sign language interpretation, or any other accommodations, please contact [email protected]. Two weeks' advance notice is appreciated for requesting accommodations.
