Climate change poetry workshop with Dr Sam Illingworth
Event Information
Description
Thursday 27 September
6pm - 8pm
In this interactive workshop, poetic scientist Dr. Sam Illingworth will lead a tour around the CFCCA galleries and help you to create your own poetry inspired by our 'Aquatopia' exhibition. No previous poetic experience required, just an open mind!
Dr. Sam Illingworth is a Senior Lecturer in Science Communication at Manchester Metropolitan University. His research involves using poetry to give a voice to the under-served and the under-valued. As well as being a published author, Sam has also performed his poetry and run workshops all over the world.
Tickets are £4 and include a glass of wine or tea on arrival.
This event is part of our ongoing Thursday Late series, which sees our galleries opening at the later time of 5pm to 8pm for a more relaxed viewing of our exhibitions.
This is a great chance to join a workshop and view our group exhibition Aquatopia if you've not seen it already.
As part of this Thursday Late we'll also be running a free Chromotherapy workshop, creating art from the colours produced by household objects.
