Memoir Workshop for Triangle Fire Families and Activists
Sun, September 10, 3:00pm – 4:45pm
Registration and more information
To mark the inauguration of the Triangle Fire Memorial in the fall of 2023, this generative memoir workshop has been specifically designed for family members and people closely related to the workers of the Triangle Waist Company as well as activists who have dedicated themselves to the legacy of the fire. Through simple and focused step-by-step writing prompts, participants will begin to tell personal stories that relate to and evoke the historical traces of the Triangle fire. The connections with the fire may not be obvious at first. As it often happens with memoir, connections, stories, and powerful emotions will emerge through the writing experience.
The workshop will bring participants together as a community to continue the necessary work of healing. No previous writing experience required or necessary.
