The British-Ugandan poet Nick Makoha will run a creative poetry workshop based on the Black Ekphrastic Mode: an exercise in reframing our perspective, reimagining the art and music we know, and from there finding our own poetic voice. In other words, responding to canonical Western art with creativity from a perspective of otherness. Because while Makoha views the world through the lens of blackness, someone else might adopt a feminist, community-based or indigenous perspective. The aim is to begin creating by altering our view of the world and art.
