Celebrate Poetry Day Ireland by exploring the relationship between poetry and visual art. Registration free, everybody welcome!
To celebrate Poetry Day Ireland, you are invited to join us for a creative writing workshop exploring the relationship between poetry and visual art. A collaboration between Excite and Eastside Cinema, the workshop focuses on ekphrasis, the art of writing in response to visual material as a way of opening up creative expression and discovering new forms of poetic engagement. We will use writing prompts, poetic material, and curated clips from Jacques Tati’s film ‘Playtime’ to find inspiration, play with the interaction between word and image, and take part in the annual island-wide celebration of poetry and imagination.
- Centre for Contemporary Art, Derry~Londonderry, 10-12 Artillery Street, BT48 6RG
- Thursday, 28 May
- 6 PM – 8 PM
- free, booking required
