                    CONNECTING COMMUNITIES THROUGH CREATIVE WRITING 

​From Where We Are is a participatory arts education project designed for individuals and groups   striving for inclusion and justice. Since July, 2024, in collaboration with Writers for Recovery and funded in part by the Vermont Humanities, we have been facilitating creative writing workshops at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland.

 

In April, 2025, a presentation of writings by workshop participants will take place at Bennington College's Center for Advancement of Public Action. Date and time to be announced in early March.

Please join us for this showing of a work in progress: a Theater of Witness investigation of events that took place at St. Joseph's Orphanage in Burlington Vermont. "What Happened Here" will explore the impact of traumatic experiences on survivors as well as the ramifications and outcomes of subsequent events in the realms of law and restorative justice. The presentation will be followed by an opportunity to meet survivors, and a discussion. Your feedback will be important to us as we continue to explore the following questions: How do survivors deal with the ongoing impact of the atrocities they endured? How do we process such experiences, as survivors and as witnesses? Is this possible? The presentation will be followed by a discussion with the audience.
