Call Out for Poetry@JHG 📝⁠ Until 9 December⁠ ⁠ Hosted by guest poet Antosh Wojcik, we are delighted to announce the return of Poetry@JHG on Thursday 9 January 2025!⁠ ⁠ Are you a writer looking for your next prompt? Perhaps you're keen to find a new audience for your work? We invite you to submit an original poem inspired by our current exhibitions.⁠ ⁠ The theme of Memory weaves its way throughout both Las Gemelas: Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking) and Sarah Pierce: Scene of the Myth, so we'd like poems to centre this theme.⁠ ⁠ Both exhibitions explore memory in all its guises: childhood experiences, memories within objects, ‘postmemory’, the memory of care, and the loss of memory. The artists invite us to consider which memories might be shared with us and which go unspoken.⁠ ⁠ Each poet will have up to 10 minutes for their performance, and we ask you to include how the poem relates to the exhibitions in your entry.⁠ ⁠ If you wish to submit a poem, please email your submission to [email protected] by Monday 9 December 2024.⁠ ⁠ Successful applicants will be informed by Monday 16 December 2024.⁠ ⁠ Good luck – we can't wait to read your submissions!⁠ ⁠ #JHGPoetry #PoetryCallOut #Writers #Southampton #PoetryEvent #Memory #WritingPrompt
EVENT ALERT! 🚨⁠ ⁠ Sonia Boué and Ashokkumar Mistry in Conversation⁠ Thursday 5 December, 6–7pm⁠ FREE⁠ ⁠ Join @S_Boue and @AshokDMistry in conversation with John Hansard Gallery Director Woodrow Kernohan to discuss their current exhibition, Arrival (a lexicon of unmaking) exhibition.⁠ ⁠ Boué and Mistry researched the arrival of almost 4,000 Basque child refugees, using archive material held in the Special Collections at the @uni_southampton. ⁠ The artists will share some of their methodology and explore in more detail the links between the historical context, the archives and their work. A key element of their process has been transforming the archive into a multisensory experience, placing importance on the memory of care and a coming together of communities.⁠ ⁠ #JHGGemelas #LasGemelas #SoniaBoue #AshokkumarDMistry #WoodrowKernohan #FreeEvents #Art #ContemporaryArt #Exhibition #NowShowing #Southampton #SotonArts #ArtistTalk #InConversation
