Poetic City Workshop - Poetry Paste-Up
Women's Open Mic
1pm-4pm, Saturday 17 June 2023
Canberra Museum & Gallery 176 London Cct, Canberra ACT
With artist and poet Caren Florance, you will choose a line or words from your poetry (or write some on the day) to create a text-based poster.
On Saturday afternoon artist and poet Caren Florance will give us a tour of exciting examples of concrete poetry and text-based art, and guide your digital typography, design and layout to create your own black-and-white graphic poster. On Sunday morning 18 June between 10.30am and midday, we will paste up our posters in high-visibility sites in City West. Please be available to join in if you can - this is a fun part of the process!
