Pieces of Me: Visual Memoir Workshop | Presented by Crystal Sharpe

Sat, May 17, 2025 1:00 P.M. Add to your calendar
Kingsessing Library

Join us at the Kingsessing Library for a unique program, inspired by this year's One Book One Philadelphia selection, The Upcycled Self by Tariq "Black Thought" Trotter!

In this program, facilitated by Crystal Sharpe, participants will create a layered art piece (painting, sculpture, or collage) incorporating found objects that symbolize pivotal moments in their lives.

The goal for this program will be to encourage storytelling and reflection, echoing the themes of Black Thought's profound book.
