This program takes place in the Commons on the museum’s second floor. All writing levels welcome. Participants should bring a laptop; power and snacks provided.

Workshops in the Commons are coauthored and designed by Chicago community groups and the MCA’s Partnerships and Engagement Liaison Gibran Villalobos.
