Led by Christine Kirubi (the87press) and New Curators fellows, this poetry workshop will give participants a chance to compose their own writings that respond to the exhibition 'akâmi-'.
Beginning with a guided walkthrough of akami-, participants will explore and perform some selected poems that inform and expand upon the dialogues surrounding Duane Linklater’s and Tanya Lukin Linklater’s practices, alongside the larger landscape of creative literature and Christine Kirubi’s own research background in Black and trans histories.
There will then be an opportunity to compose their own writings that respond to the exhibition, the workshop’s dialogues, and share them with others.
This workshop encourages the participation of emerging writers, authors and poets who seek to engage with Indigenous literary and artistic cosmologies, while situating their practices and interests in intimate proximity with the featured artists and fellow writers.
