Let’s make ofrendas for Dia de Los Muertos!
Come play!
Join us in an immersive multi sensory poetry making experience wherein original poems, written by world renowned poets, have been reimagined and physicalized for audiences of all ages to call on their inner-child and play!
The Poetry Making Playground fuses poetics, tangible objects, illustration, fabrications/design, multimedia, life size interactive and reflective installations for everyone!
It will include more than 8 interactive works inviting everyone to tap into their radical imagination and engage your ancestral geometries, sacred syllable inheritance, metaphysical joys, genetic word wisdoms and righteous rhymes.
