Build a word terrarium at the library for this special poetry workshop with Squamish Arts!
By way of restorative writing exercises and craft art making, participants will explore the relationship we cultivate between soil & soul. This workshop merges poetic writing, creative world building & the magic of the lands we occupy to create original poetry & little word terrariums. This workshop will remind participants to tend to your inner landscapes, the collective landscapes you are part of & renew the importance of listening to and writing your dreams.
Workshop participants will:
Experience an Embodied Poetry Movement Activity
Receive Writing Prompts & Time to Write Poetry
Create a ‘Word Terrarium’ Keepsake
Enjoy collective art making & community building
About the facilitator:
fanny kearse is a Black-Queer-Jewish-Disabled human, is a recovering people-pleaser & overachiever. A late bloomer, dreamer & community tender, their art explores themes of self-reclamation & connection to land, grief as a guide, pain as a portal to the divine and the joy of unbecoming. In 2021 they won the Harold Green Theatre Monologue Competition. In 2023 fanny published their first book of poetry & prose. She holds an AIRS residency facilitating literary arts programs at Chief Maquinna School, sits on the Curtain Razors and All Bodies Dance Project boards & curates multidisciplinary art experiences. Dabbling into the world of independent producing and filmmaking, fanny & their co-creator at life + art, Que, created a docuseries, Glimmers, which follows 4 Queer BIPOC Disabled Artists as they prepare for a live poetry music show- watch the show within the show come to life! Glimmers is available to stream on Telus in July 2025.
