In this two-hour generative poetry workshop led by poet Lindsay Choi, discover a selection of Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s concrete poetry, artist’s books, and performance pieces, taking inspiration from her use of the spatial and visual elements of language. After engaging with her exhibited work, we will move toward a period of generative writing, in which prompts will be provided for optional use, and end with a period of sharing. Our goal in this workshop will be to generate drafts, notes, and other forms of new material.
