3 Doors

Gender-based violence happens behind closed doors—but doors can also open to home and healing. First-time author Emily Ledwell launches her poetry chapbook, 3 Doors, on August 22 at Beaconsfield Carriage House in Charlottetown, alongside a visual art installation. The installation will be open from 1–5 pm, with a reading at 2 pm. All are welcome.

With care and artistry, 3 Doors explores violence, trauma, healing, and family through poems and videos set behind three doors from three times and places in the narrator’s life. Truthful, heartbreaking, and hopeful stories unfold from silence—reflections for survivors, and for everyone who knows survivors. And everyone does, whether they know it or not.

Admission is free. Donations to PEI Family Violence Prevention or PEI Rape and Sexual Assault Centre are welcome.
