Writers Room at Drexel University

Established in 2014, Writers Room is a university-community literary arts program engaged in creative placemaking and art for social justice. This diverse, intergenerational collective of students, alumni, faculty, staff and West Philadelphia neighbors is focused on building co-creative places that foster connection and a sense of belonging. Writers Room provides its members with the time, space, and expertise needed to tell their stories, listen to others' stories, and examine their experiences for commonality, discord, and meaning.
