Everyday we write our stories through the text messages we send to each other. Explore the poetry of text with resident artist Akwi Nji.
Our resident artist will guide you as you create poetry from your personal text threads. With the artist’s direction, participants will share their compositions by displaying them on a mural which will be exhibited in the summer in one of the library’s gallery spaces.
