An Empty Place at the Table Exhibit

An exhibition in memory of those lost to domestic violence

An Empty Place at the Table Memorial Project was established in 1993 in Scranton, Pennsylvania in response to the murders of two women and one child within a twenty-two day span. Inspired by the “Aids Quilt” and Judy Chicago’s art exhibit “The Dinner Party”, WRC advocates and surviving family members established the Table to bring to life the people behind the domestic homicide statistics. The WRC Memorial Project consists of an art exhibition of dinner place settings, photographs, and personal items. Each item representing a victim who has been murdered in acts of domestic violence in Lackawanna or Susquehanna Counties, Pennsylvania. The mission of the Memorial Project is to remember those murdered, increase awareness of the deadliness of domestic violence, and to act as a catalyst for social change.

The Pawnee Nation of Oklahoma Ti Hirasa program will be hosting An Empty Place at the Table exhibit October 17th, 2026, from 5-8pm at the RoamChief Event Center, 810 Morris Rd.
