Picture this. The year is 2018 and you鈥檙e walking up the stairs to the second floor of South Campus Hall. You grab some food from Southside Marketplace and head over to sit in Velocity. That鈥檚 when you see it鈥听
A wall - full of colours and messages.
You ask yourself, 鈥what is all this?...鈥
Since September 2017, the Writing and Communication Centre has been providing the space and materials for a quilt composed of student voices. Quilting is a metaphor for the community that we have here, as well as the writing process itself since both involve parts coming together to form a whole.
Some of the thought-provoking prompts suggested by staff include 鈥淲hat are your opinions/frustrations/joys about writing?鈥 鈥淗ow do you feel about writing today?鈥 and 鈥淚 like writing because鈥︹
Quilting, an excellent metaphor for community, assembles pieces to form a whole. Quilting is also an excellent metaphor for the recursive writing process: prewriting, drafting, editing, and publishing.
Throughout the year 鈥 September 2017 to August 2018, contribute a piece of yourself by adding to this living quilt.
