This fascinating and inspiring workshop will introduce the work of key contemporary, black women poets alongside images by black women artists or of black women to explore ‘pictured blackness’. The session will include readings from a range of poets alongside images of artworks, interactive visual prompts and discussion.
Texts from a range of poets including facilitator Amanda Holiday, Lucille Clifton, Yalie Kamara, Rita Dove, Akila Richards, Harryette Mullen, Vanessa Onwuemezi will be read alongside artworks by Zanele Muholi, Virginia Chihota, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye, Belkis Ayon and Christian Schad among others.
Participants will
• Learn about the work of contemporary black women poets and listen to selected poems alongside images of ‘pictured blackness’
• Gain a greater understanding of the ideas, textures, expressions and modes that black women poets (and artists) employ to ‘picture blackness’.
• Learn how the disciplines of both poetry and art can converse, enhance, influence and counter one another
• Learn what ekphrasis means and what black ekphrasis may mean
• Be inspired
