Write Me Storytelling Workshop: Our Stories, Our Selves (Series Part 3 of 4)

Write Me (2019), a short film by Pearl Gluck, follows an older woman who joins other survivors in reclaiming the histories tattooed on their bodies. In part three of this four-part series, filmmaker Pearl Gluck and two-time Moth Grand SLAM winner Danusia Trevino (Wooster Group) will lead a workshop on writing and sharing short stories with an emphasis on personal narratives. 

The film focuses on tattoos – an aesthetic choice for some, but a permanent reminder of harrowing past events for survivors of trafficking and the Holocaust. By spurring conversation around this difficult topic, the series hopes to effect positive change by engaging diverse communities in conversations on art, social justice, history, and current events.
