Over The Town
a project by Christell Victoria Roach
Free | RSVP Here
Through this digital ekphrasis workshop, participants will be led on a walking tour and close reading of archival Overtown photographs. By viewing photos in the places they were taken through AR technology, and writing in place, participants will engage in a sort of call and response with history.
This workshop offers a unique opportunity to connect with the legacy of Overtown’s 9th Street, exploring place, history, lineage, and legacy through the lens of photography and poetry. Consider it a supernatural collaboration between the photographer, the subject, and the poet.
Rain or shine. Light walking required. This event is wheelchair accessible.
