A Community Poetry Workshop on Identity, Legacy, and Belonging with BAC Artist-in-Residence G. Victoria Campbell

A Community Poetry Workshop on Identity, Legacy, and Belonging with BAC Artist-in-Residence G. Victoria Campbell
DATE & TIME: Monday October 6, 2025 7-8:30PM
LOCATION: Ossining Public Library, Budarz Theater (53 Croton Ave, Ossining) 
FREE Community Program as part of BAC’s 2025 Fall Multidisciplinary Residency. In partnership with the Ossining Public Library. 

Join us for a powerful 90-minute experience honoring the life of Philippa Duke Schuyler—mixed race, Harlem Renaissance born child prodigy, pianist, and writer—whose brilliance was shadowed by a society that couldn’t see all of who she was. 

Discover the story of a forgotten genius, reflect on your own, and help create a community poem rooted in identity and inclusion. 

Together, we’ll: 

• Explore an original song inspired by Philippa’s story 

• Create “I Am” poems and poetic affirmations 

• Share truths about identity and belonging 

• Weave our voices into a collective community poem 

This is a space for truth-telling and collective creative expression. All ages, backgrounds, and levels of experience are welcome. Come as you are. Leave with your voice on the page. 

Facilitated by G. Victoria Campbell. G. Victoria Campbell is a BIPOC Seattle-based psychologist-artist-activist.

This event is a Fall Multidisciplinary Residency Community Program. As part of a residency at BAC, we ask each artist to build and facilitate a Community Program. Community Programs are a unique opportunity for both artists-in-residence and our local community to gather, engage, and be in conversation with one another through art. Community Programs are free engagements open to the public and/or in collaboration with a local community partners. Learn more about this year’s Fall Multidisciplinary Residency here!
