Narrative Medicine Workshop

Narrative Medicine Workshop In-Person

About the Event

Join us for a Narrative Medicine workshop centered on Li-Young Lee's evocative poem “A Story,” which explores profound themes of time, family, and the transformative power of storytelling. The session, facilitated by Nanako Shirai, will open with a thoughtful discussion of the poem, inviting participants to engage with its rich layers of meaning. We will then transition to a period of personal reflection and creative writing, offering an opportunity for attendees to deepen their insights and share their reflections in a supportive environment. Please bring writing materials—whether pen and paper or a laptop—to fully immerse in the experience.

This event is part of an event series higlighting the launch of "Creativity in the Time of Covid: The Art of Grieving," the final exhibition of a three-year national tour! 
 

About the Exhibition

Countway Library is proud to host “The Art of Grieving,” an exhibition of art and creative work featuring Marked By Covid, in partnership with the Creativity in the Time of Covid-19 research collective. The library will feature a collection of works created during – or inspired by – a period marked by collective grief, including a sculpture made of surgical masks and a needlework series depicting the slogans written on highway signs in the early days of lockdown. 

"The Art of Grieving" is the culminating exhibition in a nationwide series that has included Buffalo, New York; US Air Force Academy, Colorado; St. Louis, MO; Detroit and Lansing, MI ("Creativity in the Time of Covid 19: Art as Medicine") and presented from Phoenix and Chicago to Seoul, South Korea. We are proud to host the final, fantastic moment of this nationwide tour
