At the Table is an interactive art project and interface to support creatives, writers, and poets during the generative process of creative writing. This is done by asking you to directly engage with the words of civil rights activist and suffragist Mary Church Terrell (1863-1954). Thousands of creative prompts (i.e. questions and instructions) were generated by analyzing Terrell's writing from thousands of documents consisting of her diaries, letters, speeches, publications, and poetry. This interface aims to treat the Mary Church Terrell Papers not as a static collection of documents, but a vibrant and dynamic repository that leaves you with a renewed sense of the possibilities of words and their power to create effective change.
