Room 994B AAC

Join Teaching Artist Derra McWilliams to explore the tactile nature of weaving and experiments with examining elements of visual texture. Participants will weave magazine pages by cutting them into a warp and a weft. The vertical warp strands are held stationary in tension, while the horizontal weft is drawn over and under the warp strands. This process-based project places emphasis on experience rather than the product. With that, each piece has multiple outcomes, with ample room for creative decision-making!

Join Teaching Artist Angelica Davila for a poetry workshop designed to introduce students to blackout poetry, which is a type of erasure poetry using existing text like newspaper articles, pages from a book, letters, and many more. We will discuss what types of texts can be used in blackout poetry, as well as how blackout poetry is used as a tool to subvert and reclaim power, and as a tool for questioning and understanding the world around us. Participants will be guided through creating their own blackout poem and how they can incorporate blackout poetry into their own wellbeing, including other creative ways to engage with a found text.
