Location: Reynolda House Museum of American Art
Cost: $50; 20% discount for Members
Inspired by Ona Judge Escapes (2021) in Stephen Towns: Declaration & Resistance, workshop attendees will explore the theme of self-emancipation from past to present. Participants will gain transformative personal insight through reflection, conversation, and writing. Guests are encouraged to read Never Caught: The Washingtons’ Relentless Pursuit of Their Runaway Slave, Ona Judge, but it’s not required. At the conclusion of the workshop, attendees will have created an original work of poetry. Price includes a boxed lunch.
