LIT ENCOUNTERS BY THE VERSE VERSE

Celebrating Latino Poetry: The Library of America’s Anthology with special programming during Miami Book Fair week, Lit Encounters is a special exhibition presented by MAD ARTS in partnership with digital poetry gallery THEVERSEVERSE that brings one of humanity’s most enduring forms of expression into the museum space as the main event! Gathering writers, visual artists, and code poets, the exhibition reimagines the bounds of how poetry is experienced via a multiplicity of mediums and technologies, including blockchain as a means of publishing, distribution, and record-keeping. This experience expands how poems can look, sing, and behave, ultimately demanding a reconsideration of the cultural currency of verse. Lit Encounters opens November 2, 2024.

See your favorite local poets at Lit Encounters in an intimate, one-of-a-kind format – as holograms! – through Poetry Holobox, which will also be on display during MBF week at MDC’s Wolfson Campus in the Building 1 Atrium.
