Forms & Features at the DePaul Museum of Art | Poem-making as Housekeeping: A Generative Poetry Workshop on Domestic Violence

All are welcome to a poetry discussion and creative writing workshop led by Maggie Queeney of the Poetry Foundation. Together, we will explore domestic violence through Selva Aparicio’s exhibition, In Memory Of, on view at the DePaul Art Museum, and a wide variety of poems. In a guided, generative poetry-writing workshop, we will create poems that reimagine remembered domestic spaces into structures providing recognition, shelter, nourishment, and liberation for survivors.

This workshop will take place in-person at the Depaul Museum of Art. Virtual attendance will not be available, and the event will not be recorded. Registration is required; space is limited. To register, fill out this form. This program is for adult participants, aged 18 and older.

A counselor will be in attendance for this program, and resources for those experiencing domestic violence will be available. We are happy to provide ASL interpretation for this program. If you would benefit from ASL interpretation, or any other accessibility measures, please contact us by emailing [email protected].

Presented in partnership with the DePaul Art Museum.
