As I Said: Meet the Artists & Curators Talk

About this event

This ‘Meet the Curators & Artists’ talk is part of One Word’s As I Said exhibition, showing in the Poetry Café 31 July – 13 August. Join us for this relaxed standing talk and exhibition walk-through with both the curators and several exhibiting As I Said artists. Come along to find out what ‘artwork shaped by poetry and poetry shaped by artwork’ means in practice. As I Said’s programme brought together six emerging artists from Grafters Collective and fifteen emerging poets from a wide range of backgrounds, many of whom were trying poetry for the first time. Programme curators Lio and Karl will talk more about the rationale of the project while the artists will speak on their process and project outcomes. There will be a chance for attendees to ask questions as we go. Please aim to arrive at the start of the event. There are 25 tickets available. There is seating available for those who need it, a lift between floors and accessible toilets. Please note: this event is suitable for over-18s only due to the exhibition’s occasional adult themes and language. As well as this talk, there are three free participatory workshops you can take part in, and a performance event where the featured poets will read their work. All events in this series take place at The Poetry Café, London. You can choose to attend just one event or several. Book for workshop 1 (Responding to Objects) here and workshop 2 (Exquisite Corpse) here, and workshop 3 (Ekphrastic Poetry) here.
