About this Event
How many words is a family picture really worth? More than a thousand? Are some photos actually best captured in haiku form?
Crack open your family photo album and bring a photo with you to the National Public Housing Museum for a poetry writing workshop led by creative writing instructor, poet, healer, and former Hilliard Homes resident, Toni Asante Lightfoot.
During this workshop, we’ll rediscover and reclaim snapshots of our past and use poetry to preserve our family memories and communal stories.
In addition to your polaroid (or any photo), please feel free to bring your favorite notebook and writing utensil.
FREE. Light bites and refreshments included.
Community Conversations
This workshop is the final event in a series of Community Conversations sponsored by Illinois Humanities, focusing on the theme of “A Place in the World,” which reminds us that the places where we live and work shape and are shaped by ideas, people, resources, histories, and events around the world—often in unexpected and curious ways.
