- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 18 Apr, 2026 at 03:00 pm (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Celebrate National Poetry Month at VPAM with a poetry writing workshop inspired by the art and altar-making practice of Ofelia Esparza. Led by Los Angeles–based poet Gloria Enedina Alvarez—a Chicana poet, intermedia artist, literary translator, curator, and creative writing educator—this workshop explores how poetry, like Esparza’s work, can serve as a space for memory, devotion, and storytelling rooted in family and community.

Using "Ofelia Esparza: A Retrospective" as inspiration, participants will be guided through writing prompts that transform images, objects, and personal histories into poetry. This workshop welcomes writers of all experience levels and invites participants to engage with Esparza’s art through words.

This event is free and open to the public. RSVPs encouraged.
