Poetry Reading & Responsive Writing

Join Teaching Artist-in-Residence Jamel Robinson in the galleries for a reading of his poem HOME, followed by a creative writing workshop in which he guides participants to create their own poems in response to chosen works in African American Art in the 20th Century. Robinson is a painter, sculptor, writer, and performance artist who began his artistic journey as a poet and taught himself to paint to further his range of expression. Recommended for ages 13+.
