BHM: Paint Your Poetry Workshop
Friday 9 October 2026
Next Event: Friday 9th October 17:30
Join Poets Yield Power for a creative expression workshop, combining spoken word and visual art.
Be guided through accessible spoken word and writing exercises before translating your words into visual artworks using paint and mixed media. Paint Your Poetry removes barriers between art forms and encourages young people to express themselves in whatever way feels most natural.
Respond to creative prompts exploring identity, place, memory and imagination; develop a short original poem, and experiment with colour, texture and symbolic imagery to create an original artwork of your own.
Recommended Ages: 18-30.
All tickets £5: Tickets to all events in our Black History Month 2026 programme are just £5.
