Writers from Mass Poetry including Jamele Adams, Martha Collins, and Enzo Silon Surin provide basic tools and exercises to get you started composing your own poetry and seeing art on view at the ICA through a new lens. This two-hour workshop will focus on art in the exhibition When Home Won’t Let You Stay: Migration through Contemporary Art.
Come prepared to write! The workshop will include group conversation, close looking at works of art, and time to write at least the beginnings of a poem. A chance to share what you’ve written or observed will be provided at the end.
Workshops will be led by the following poets:
Oct 26 | Jamele Adams
Nov 10 | Enzo Silon Surin
Dec 8 | Martha Collins
Meet in the Poss Family Mediatheque.
