“The Remembering Room,” an interactive art exhibit exploring grief, will open at Atithi Studios in Sharpsburg this weekend.

It’s the debut visual art exhibit of Amanda Filippelli, an internationally recognized author and writer based in Pittsburgh. “The Remembering Room” is inspired by Filippelli’s new book of poetry, where she explores her journey with grief through unexpectedly losing her father and then becoming pregnant, and then losing her dog exactly one year later to the same illness that took her father.

Visitors progress through four rooms that represent the four stages of grief Filippelli explores with a surrealist interpretation. They will also have the opportunity to contribute to the exhibit by adding their own artifacts or writing on designated spaces.

The exhibit is free and will be at Atithi Studios through Sunday, April 16. Additional information is available at atithistudios.com.
