About this Event
Join acclaimed poet Layli Long Soldier for Community and the Ethics of Collaboration on Saturday, March 27, 2021 from 9:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Phoenix MST / Pacific on Zoom.
In this workshop, Long Soldier will offer an artist talk on various projects that involve community and collaboration. We will discuss ideas of surrendering the individuality of the poet to the possibilities of collective knowledge and creation. The talk will be followed by a short writing exercise to prompt imagination and appreciation for collaboration with others.
Please note: as Phoenix does not observe daylight savings time, determining the correct time outside of Arizona can be somewhat confusing. Right now, Phoenix MST is currently equivalent to Pacific (not Mountain). To view the current time in Phoenix, Arizona, you can check the world time clock.
