Take part in a generative workshop led by poet Rosa Castellano. Explore the special exhibition gallery at The Fralin Museum of Art at UVA, and write in response to the photographs of artist Nakeya Brown whose new exhibition, Refutations, explores the complex entanglement of identity, memory, femininity, family legacy, and the marketing of cultural assimilation in the context of textured hair.
Join us as we write our way in and out of the intersections Brown creates in her work and tell our own "hair stories."
