Join author Maisy Card (These Ghosts are Family) for another generative workshop designed for those who want to write personal essays or memoirs about their experiences living between two or more cultures--whether you are an immigrant, a first or second generation American, were reared in two religions, or a descendant of the Great Migration of African Americans from the south to the north.

We’ll complete a series of in-class writing exercises designed to help us begin to document and translate our experiences to the wider public. Returning attendees are welcome, but it is not necessary to have attended the first session (May 26) to participate in this workshop.

What are the challenges and the advantages of living between cultures or creating a new one? For our first writing exercise, please bring an object or photograph that you feel reflects a part of your heritage or identity.
