About this Event

Handwriting the Constitution is a social art project begun in 2017 by artist Morgan O'Hara. It invites people from all walks of life to meet in public spaces to handwrite the US Constitution or other documents written to protect human rights and freedoms. This art practice was created so that people will know their rights, deepen their understanding of laws created to protect these rights, and to help resist negative thinking. To date approximately 2000 people have participated, both nationally and internationally.

The goal of this art practice is to encourage people to hold their own Handwriting sessions on a recurring basis; to create a physical and psychological space that explores the practice of concentrated writing as an art form, and a process designed to bring people together in a quiet and calming way, all by focusing on human rights. It has been identified as a powerful and transformative form of activism for introverts.


Participants are welcome to work on their own journey through the U.S. Constitution, but are welcome to explore other documents of freedom such as the U.N. Declaration of Human Rights.

We will have copies of both documents available for reference.
