’Metamorphosis’ Community ReadAround

‘Metamorphosis’ Community ReadAround

Join us for a meaningful afternoon of storytelling and connection as we celebrate the sixth annual anthology, (a) river rising: Anthology of Women’s Voices: Metamorphosis. With cover art (below) by Barbara Hionides, this collection delves into themes of personal and community transformation, and we’re thrilled to bring these stories to life in a Community ReadAround at Yellow House on February 8, 2025.

This event will take place amid the inspiring exhibit, Venus, In Healing: Recent Works by Tatiana Kitchen. Tatiana’s art explores, in her words, “The continuous flow of life, a reminder that even in the most challenging times, movement persists, life persistsThis juxtaposition of fluidity and strength mirrors the ongoing journey of emotional healing, the strength to maintain in the day-to-day even as we attempt to evolve and transform.” Tatiana was also the cover artist for our fourth edition, Rivers and Oceans, and we will bring copies of that anthology as well.

Gathering in community to share our stories—surrounded by beautiful art—is a meaningful way to grow and transform both individually and collectively. The event will include readings by contributors to the anthology, facilitated conversations inspired by the stories and art, and a final opportunity to view Venus, In Healing.

This is an all-gender, community-wide event, and we welcome everyone to join us in this shared journey of storytelling and connection. We hope to see you there!
