Join us on May 22 at 1730 at Apple Carnegie Library in Washington DC for a collaborative storytelling workshop about origins and community.
Celebrate the StoryMakers Festival and explore the power of narrative with Seema Reza, Joe Merritt, and Wytold, the co-founders of Community Building Art Works. You’ll collaborate as a community to brainstorm and create a work of art using iPad and Apple Pencil. The co-founders will also perform music and poetry. Register here.
Seema Reza is a poet and essayist and the author of two books: A Constellation of Half-Lives and When the World Breaks Open. She holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in Writing and Community Building from Goddard College. In 2010 Seema began working with service members, veterans, and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and has since developed a unique multi-hospital arts program that encourages the use of the arts as a tool for narration, self-care and socialization. In 2015, the USO of Metropolitan Washington-Baltimore awarded Seema the Col John Gioia Patriot Award for her work with service members in military hospitals. Seema is a 2019 George W. Bush Institute Stand-To Veteran Leadership Scholar.
