Part of the Poetry Symposium, Recovering / Discovering your Poetic Self, this session guides participants through creating poetic responses to artworks on display in our galleries. Musicians are invited to interpret the poetic responses and this inspiring session ends with a synthesis of two interpretations of visual art created by the group: a play of spoken word and a sound composition.
