As part of our Death Awareness programming at Congressional Cemetery and facilitated by our Death Doula in Residence, join us for a writing workshop by teaching artist and playwright Mary Hall Surface.
Discover how reflective writing and visual art can offer a creative way to engage with loss. Inspired by 20th-century African American artist Romare Bearden’s collage Tomorrow I May Be Far Away, participants will experience a process that holds both grief and remembrance. Designed for all, not just “writers,” the workshop embraces close outward looking at art and rich inward-looking through reflective writing to begin to build new relationships with loved ones who have passed on.
Mary Hall Surface is a teaching artist, playwright, and theatre director and producer whose great-grand parents and great aunts are interred at Congressional Cemetery. She is a popular presenter of workshops in creative and reflective writing for the Smithsonian Associates, National Gallery of Art, the Kennedy Center, Harvard’s Project Zero Classroom and more.
