Floraffiti® Poetry Workshop with Liza Francis-WolffJoin us for a creative poetry workshop with the talented Carrboro Poet Laureate, Liza Francis-Wolff. This free, in-person event will take place on Saturday, February 10, 2024 at 1:30 to 3:30 PM.Reading and writing poetry about the climate crisis can help aid us in addressing our grief and anxiety, help us understand what’s happening and what can be done, and motivate us for action.During this workshop, Liza will explore larger topics of the climate crisis and how they relate locally in our own communities, including environmental justice, solutions to the crisis, fears and hope, and then write poetry inspired by these conversations. From your poetry, each participant will choose words they find important. Each word will be planted in the ground to grow into powerful, living extensions of their voices in public spaces throughout Carrboro and Chapel Hill. Following the workshop in early March, there will be several opportunities to volunteer as a Floragardener to plant your word.That’s not all! Each poem will be recorded at the workshop and uploaded to a QR code printed on a sign placed next to each growing word so that people scan the code with their smartphone and listen to the poetry.Whether you're an experienced poet or just starting out, this workshop is open to all skill levels for teens and adults. It's a fantastic opportunity to connect with community members, share ideas, and gain inspiration.The workshop will be held at 108 Bim St. in Carrboro.Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your spot early!For more information on Floraffiti®, check out the website at <a href="http://carterhubbard.com/" title="http://carterhubbard.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">floraffiti.com</a> and follow us on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/floraffiti/" title="https://www.instagram.com/floraffiti/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Insta</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/floraffiti" title="https://www.facebook.com/floraffiti" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Facebook</a>, both @floraffitiMore info about <a href="https://lizawolfffrancis.wordpress.com/about/" title="https://lizawolfffrancis.wordpress.com/about/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Liza Wolff-Francis</a>This project is sponsored by: Carrboro Arts Committee Carrboro Tourism &amp; Development Authority Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership Orange County Visitors Bureau Strowd Roses, Inc.
