Collage Poetry for Riso with Mita Mahato
DATE
Saturday, April 26th
10:00am - 3:00pm
WHERE
Paper Press Punch
5628 Airport Way S
Suite 175
WHAT WE’LL DO
Collage is a form that depends upon rupture and reimagining—cutting and layering text in order to question the limits of how our realities are represented. Riso also operates using layers, reproducing content in ways that ask us to bend our sense of what a “copy” should do. In this 5-hour workshop, we will bring these two modes together, experimenting with collage technique to create erasure and found poems for the riso that will frustrate, surprise, corrupt, and delight. The workshop involves both collaborative and independent work that will emphasize slow wonder and experimentation. All experience levels welcome.
