SUMMARY:Collaging Memory: A Reflective Writing Workshop on Grief and Remembrance
DESCRIPTION: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. \nDiscover 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. \nMary 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. \nTO RESERVE A PLACE FOR THIS WORKSHOP CLICK HERE
