Decomposition Compositions Workshop

﻿O,Miamicelebrates South Florida through the empathy-building power of poetry.  Throughout the year, we teach poetry in schools, host a month-long festival, and publish poems in books and unexpected places like rooftops, billboards, and fences using a process called Civic Publishing. Our work is an act of love for this city, inviting residents to share their stories and write a new one together.

In this workshop, we will adapt the composting process to writing.

8440 Collins Ave

In this workshop, we will adapt the composting process to writing. We will begin by journaling, and through prompts and editing, reduce our writing to its elements. This reduced writing will be shared with our workshop neighbor to be responded to or expanded upon. This process will be repeated several times, expanding and reducing, until we have bunches of poems that could never have happened without the interconnection–just like compost! The final poems will be printed on stickers and shared on the compost collection pick up bags at Miami Beach Botanical Garden and beyond.The workshop will be followed by an optional dip in the ocean and beach gathering. <ul><li>Sunday, April 28, 2024 | 10 am - 2 pm</li><li>North Beach Compost Hub</li><li>Tiered pricing: <ul> Discounted - $15 This tier should be considered if the cost of the general admission ticket would prevent you from being able to attend this event. </ul> <ul> General Admission - $25 This tier is the regular, full price for the event. </ul> <ul> Support O, Miami - $50 This tier adds a donation cost to support O, Miami's programming. </ul></li></ul> Facilitator BioBeata Rikhter grew up in Miami, an immigrant from Eastern Europe.
