Each month, we publish a Women's Center calendar, which lists all groups and workshops that we offer. The calendar is available on our website, though our e-community, and hard copies are available at the Center. To sign up to our e-community, Our newsletter, On Our Way, provides articles and updates about the Center, information on some upcoming events, and much more. To receive a hard copy of our newsletter, "Request for participants" Project: Speaking Truth: Incest Survivors Speaking Truth to the Next Generation My name is Michelle Harris and I am an art therapist and clinician. I am developing a series of 4 quilts addressing transgenerational trauma, specifically regarding incest. We will be having an exhibit Nov-Dec 2008 at the Cambridge Multicultural Arts Center which I hope you will all be able to attend. I am seeking participants in creating a quilt square for one of the quilts. Who are the participants? adults (over 21yo) who self-identify that they have a parent with a history of incest. It is fine if the participants themselves have an incest history or not- I am specifically targeting those that have parents that have an incest history to address what it is like to grow up with a parent that is an incest survivor. The participant will be meeting with just me for 2 hours in one sitting. I will ask them 4 questions about their experience and then ask them to reflect on the theme by doing art - putting together a fabric collage (quilt square) which I will be responsible for sewing and then combining with other participant's quilt squares into a larger quilt design. For more questions or to inquire about participating, please contact me at mharrisatr@gmail.org. So far participants have described the process as an empowering and important piece of work that was unique and positive. Thank you! PS We are also accepting fabric, sewing help, and monetary donations |
