Come From Away’ is a term used to denote people who were not born in the town where they currently reside. It is a small-town description of the ‘other’ living in a closed community. The truth is that we all come from away. No matter the date or era, we are all immigrants to the Americas.
The workshop will explore democratic broadsides, immigration and heritage. Prompts will be provided to further investigate concerning family relationships, language and customs. Participants will pen a narrative that will guide their broadside’s creation on the presses. Each participant will leave with their broadsides and any they have exchanged with others.
