THE NAMES WE CARRY
A Poetry Workshop by The (Great) Indian Poetry Collective
Thursday, November 13
6:15–9:15 PM
"The moment of change is the only poem."
-Adrienne Rich
In this powerful & engaging workshop facilitated by Minal Hajratwala and Shikha Malaviya of The (Great) Indian Poetry Collective, we’ll draw poetic inspiration from activist art from the Rebel Legacy exhibition as well as South Asian poetry to explore the names/labels one carries, contests and lives up to. Using prompts drawn from Indian/South Asian/other ethnic poets who have blasted through stereotypes, exploring issues of exile, identity, discrimination and more, we'll explore how verse turns the personal into the universal, while creating awareness as well as initiating change.
Tuition is $10-25 sliding scale; no one will be turned away for lack of funds. For more information, contact Jason Bayani at jason@kearnystreet.org.
