SUMMARY:Voices from the Inside Reading at Wistariahurst
DESCRIPTION:Voices from the Inside (VFI)  engages women and girls who have been incarcerated or who are at risk of incarceration through writing. The organization encourages these writers to find their voices and cultivate leadership through creative writing workshops. VFI’s work lies in core principles: “everyone has a strong unique voice; everyone is born with creative genius; writing as an art form belongs to all people\, regardless of economic class or educational level; the teaching of craft can be done without damage to a writer’s original voice or artistic self-esteem and; a writer is someone who writes.” VFI also encourages their participants to share their work in presentations\, conversations\, and performances as part of their Voices Carry initiative. Wistariahurst Museum is excited to host one of these presentations. The Voices from the Inside reading at Wistariahurst will be held Saturday\, May 17\, 1:00-2:00. \nVoices from the Inside (VFI) involucra a través de la escritura a mujeres y niñas que han sido encarceladas o que corren el riesgo de serlo. La organización anima a estas escritoras a encontrar su voz y cultivar el liderazgo a través de talleres de escritura creativa. El trabajo de VFI se basa en principios fundamentales: «todo el mundo tiene una voz única y fuerte; todo el mundo nace con genio creativo; la escritura como forma de arte pertenece a todas las personas\, independientemente de su clase económica o nivel educativo; la enseñanza del oficio puede hacerse sin dañar la voz original del escritor o su autoestima artística y; un escritor es alguien que escribe». VFI también anima a sus participantes a compartir su trabajo en presentaciones\, conversaciones y actuaciones como parte de su iniciativa Voices Carry. El Museo Wistariahurst se complace en acoger una de estas presentaciones. La lectura de Voices from the Inside en Wistariahurst tendrá lugar el sábado 17 de mayo\, de 1:00 a 2:00.
