Connect and Create: Exquisite Corpse Poetry Workshop with Poet, Robin Gow

Let’s Make an Exquisite Corpse:
An Exquisite Corpse is and artistic and poetic practice where individual contributions are “stitched” together to create something extraordinary – like Frankenstein’s Monster, but far more fantastic! This workshop is great for poets and poetry-curious alike, no matter your experience level. All you need to bring is your curiosity and creativity.

Using artwork in the galleries as inspiration, participants will explore a series of guided exercises to craft a shared Exquisite Corpse poem. Facilitated by Robin Gow, this session promises to spark your imagination and foster community through collective creativity.

Space is limited. Please register in advance to help us plan for your visit and ensure we have enough materials for everyone!
