Rewriting Ourselves: A Spoken Word Event with Re/Creation and The Fortune Society

Join the writers of Re/Creation and The Fortune Society for a reading of original works rooted in liberation and healing

 

Re/Creation

Re/Creation is a non-profit organization created in support of The Re/Creation Creative Collective, a community of writers and artists with a shared vision for abolition and a world free of oppression who support each other to express that vision through creative works. As part of a creative collective, members share and develop each other's work through Tuesday evening workshops, and find opportunities to collaborate on creative work. 

The Re/Creation Creative Collective’s work can be found on reslashcreation.org, under the sections The Work and Dispatches. .

Throughout the year, R/C also hosts public readings to invite different audiences to engage with our work and facilitates workshops to encourage restorative healing through creative expression.

 

The Fortune Society 

Founded in 1967, The Fortune Society’s vision is to foster a world where those who are incarcerated or formerly incarcerated will thrive as positive, contributing members of society. We do this through a holistic, one-stop model of service provision.

Our continuum of care, informed and implemented by professionals with cultural backgrounds and life experiences similar to those of our participants, helps ensure their success. We serve thousands of individuals annually via our expanding New York locations: our service centers in Long Island City, Queens and Morrisania, the Bronx, as well as several housing residences throughout the city. Our program models are recognized both nationally and internationally for their quality and innovation.

Fortune's Arts program aligns with radical hope and believes in the healing and transformative powers of imagination and creativity. To learn more about the Arts community, please visit Art Portal.
