Lilith's Shrine
Lilith's Shrine is a creative exercise that asks users to participate in the production of a new story about the mythical figure—Lilith. Users are asked to reflect on what they know about Lilith and the stories she is involved in. What does she look like? What might she remind you of? Who is she to you, if any one at all?
This page includes all the resources and artifacts mentioned at the end of Lilith's Shrine. If you have not entered Lilith's Shrine before please click here and consider exploring the exhibit first.
