“Heavy hart / Soft mind” (...)
On September 29, we are glad to invite you to meet Judy Young (AU), artist-in-residency at Zaratan, who will be launching “Sour Silk”, a book that combines 59 original poems and artworks by dear friends and local artists.
Her ongoing work draws from Haiku poetry as a starting point for a multisensory and performative practice: how can a poem transition from the page into a three-dimensional experience?
On this occasion and starting from the reading of “Sour Silk”, Judy Young will be experimenting on the intersection between performance and poetry, by complementing selected poems with soundscapes and scents. This mixed-media live event result in an immersive and transpoetic experience that echoes the practice of sound bathing.
