THINKING IN POETRY AND CARDBOARD EXHIBITION

SO Academy | Thinking in Poetry and Cardboard exhibition

In addition to the performance programmes of Season 8 of The Centre for the Less Good Idea, a multi-media exhibition was on show for the duration of the Season, and subsequently extended to 25 November.

The exhibition, titled Thinking in Poetry and Cardboard, features cardboard models and short videos created through the Thinking in Cardboard Mentorship Programme, short videos from the Poetry Minute series curated by Bongile Gorata Lecoge-Zulu, and videos showcasing the poetry of Woven with Brown Thread, an anthology as part of the Khala Series | 100 Poem project.

EXHIBITION WALKTHROUGH

Curator of the Thinking in Poetry and Cardboard exhibition, Athena Mazarakis, leads a brief walkthrough of the exhibition, contextualising its various parts and its location in the broader context of The Centre for the Less Good Idea.
