Portland Heat Soirée

The Perlene 1910 SE 11th Ave, Portland, OR, United States

Portland Heat is a collection of poetry by Hannah Vogel that started as a love letter to a city and ended up being a series of poems that reflect on the tensions of the artist/muse relationship and the cosmological connection between two people that aren't meant to be together. It is incredibly tender, sweet and a wonderful work of poetry. The books were hand-written, hand cut and hand stitched. It also marks Zines + Thing's first adventure into a ~real publishing space.

Literally Crawling Workshop – *MIND MAPPING* (intuitive poetry comics)

Online N/A, Portland, OR, United States

*MIND MAPPING* (intuitive poetry comics in private) with Mars Ramirez What does your brain do when you’re not listening to it? Together, we will learn about using our sketchbooks as a daily devotion of personal storytelling. Looking at the intersection of word&image, and the ways that some artists use the poetics of image alone, we will distill what is most important for each of us. Then looking inward, we will find what feels good, and find our stories to tell. 1 part lecture and 1 part studio time AN INTERACTIVE SLIDESHOW; participants will walk away with many new exercises to do in their sketchbooks, and a new way of thinking about making intuitively in private.
