VOICES ON THE INSIDE Workshop with Poetic Justice FREE + ALL AGES Doors open at 6:15 p.m. Poetic Justice is a local nonprofit that provides poetry and art as tools for addressing the root causes of trauma for people in women’s jails and prisons. Please join us for a special workshop at Verbatim Books on Monday, July 22nd, at 6:30 p.m. The Voices on the Inside workshop takes the contents of the current multimodal exhibit at the San Diego Central Public Library to a deeper level with a more hands-on approach to poetry, portraiture, and visual literacy. Attendees will engage in Visual Thinking Strategies protocol, direct and/or create their own portrait, and engage each other in conversations connected to the visual nature of our current society, and the overwhelming power of social media and other outlets, for advocacy efforts in a visual context around some pressing systemic and social justice issues. Participants will engage with artifacts from the larger exhibit with special attention to the artistic choices made by the women featured in the exhibit, followed by a larger conversation on the power of visual and multimodal artifacts as tools for healing and advocacy. Poetic Justice merch and poetry anthologies will be available with a donation to the organization. Additionally, please join Poetic Justice at the SD Central Library now through July 31st for Voices on the Inside, an interactive multimodal exhibition of self-portrait poetry and photography created by incarcerated members of Poetic Justice in collaboration with Lisa Loftus Photography.
