Project Name: WADABA – We All Die and become Architecture – Poetry Workshop
Guide: Christine Herzer, National Institute of Design.
Category: Poetry, Writing
Project Brief:
‘Form will not constrict, or alienate, but will set something in motion’ – Lisa Robertson, Utopia.
We were introduced to the definitions of poetry, what poetry can do in understanding our floating world; we were made to experience how ‘making’/’building’ language might be similar to designing, and introduced to works by Jenny Boully, Bhanu Kapil & Lisa Robertson excite & create a humble atmosphere and how these works might be inspirational in the context of design, ie challenge our perception of how things ‘should’ look like, embrace uncertainty. This was the most enriching experience I have had at National Institute of Design. Poetry is liberation for me.
Objective: To encourage out of the box–thinking | To find value in strangeness, difficulty | To practice Creative Expression.
I made poetry booklets with samples of my writings to gift it to my team members and my beautiful mentor Christine.
