About this Event
Join Brooklyn-based playwright and producer Kendell Pinkney for a faculty training workshop that is part of What Would You Bring?, a Fall 2026 interdisciplinary writing initiative. What Would You Bring? invites students to narrate personal and familial histories of forced migration and to imagine the objects they might bring with them if they had to flee their homes. Drawing from his background in theatre, Pinkney will discuss how educators can create safe spaces for difficult conversations in the classroom and share techniques for facilitating deep listening among participants. Pinkney serves as Director of Jewish Learning and Artist-in-Residence for Reboot. He is also the founding Artistic Director of The Workshop, a New York-based arts and culture fellowship that supports the work of professional artists of BIPOC-Jewish heritage, including the online exhibition What Would You Bring?, a Reboot production which inspired this collaboration between the Kupferberg Holocaust Center & QCC’s English Department.
