Join MOA for a free webinar-workshop taught by local spoken word artist and activist Jillian Christmas, as part of National Poetry Month celebrations. Join along online while Jillian teaches poetry through word play exercises and creative development in rhythm and rhyme.
Until October 2, the outdoor screen shows what do you know?, a newly commissioned work by Manuel Axel Strain, which the artist created in collaboration with – and in reference to – their relatives and their land. what do you know? comprises three segments that layer voices and locations across space and time, with Strain’s mother, brother, niece and nephew sharing two poems that are in dialogue with one another. As part of the installation, the video is surrounded by an in-situ painting that evokes a power that is traced to different memories, stories and places, becoming a portal into and beyond the moving image.
