Why are some memories "frayed at the edges"? And what can we do to excavate memories we thought were long lost? These are questions we'll consider, inspired by the fabric collages in Hangama Amiri's exhibition A Homage to Home. Join Ridgefield Poet Laureate Barb Jennes and fellow writers as we plumb the deep well of memory, returning with poetry and prose. All ages are welcome and all materials are provided.
Note: Register in person on the day of the event or in advance. There is a fee for this workshop, which includes Museum admission: $18 General Admission; $10 Students/Seniors; $5 for Members.
