WON’T YOU CELEBRATE WITH ME?

won't you celebrate with me

what i have shaped into

a kind of life?

i had no model.

born in Babylon.

both nonwhite and woman

what did i see to be

except myself?

i made it up

here on this

bridge between

starshine and clay,

my one hand

holding tight

my other hand;

come celebrate

with me that everyday

something has tried

to kill me

and has failed.

-Lucille Clifton

WON’T YOU CELEBRATE WITH ME? Guided Activity

“I was forced to look upon myself and my living with a harsh and urgent clarity that has left me still shaken but much stronger."

- Audre Lorde

By writing on a provided handmade paper diamond and placing it on an ornament hook, I encourage you to reflect on the energy of the exhibit and look within:

What has died that you wish to release? Transform the dark into light and place it on FAITH.
