Writing workshop focusing on developing our own stories of exile, banishment, expulsion or being ostracized from family, community or any place that we call home
Generational stories of relocation or displacement live on in us today. We may also have our own version of being distanced from others. Learn to develop and write stories that bring your truth to light. Instructor Miriam Calleja Shaw, originally from Malta, leads this workshop.
This workshop is part of the ongoing "Stories of Exile" program series. The Yiddish Book Center’s “Stories of Exile” Reading Groups for Public Libraries is a reading and discussion program to engage teens and adults in thinking about experiences of displacement, migration, and diaspora. In this program, librarians organize reading groups to discuss three books of Yiddish literature in translation, and one book related to the experience of a community served by their library.
