In this workshop, we will look at the power of poetry in intercultural and intergenerational settings. Petra Kuppers will share some of the working practices of a large-scale project in Aotearoa/New Zealand, centered around a hospice, where Maori and white immigrant communities used community poetry, movement and visual art to create new horizons for cohabitation on the land. You will come away from this workshop with a number of strategies for lifting poetry off the page and into our bodies, for working in communities, for honoring post-coloniality and the weight of history, and for working towards just futures.
