Program Description

Event Details

In honor of Langston Hughes and the vibrant spirit of the 1920s, join us for an evening of creative deconstruction at our Blackout Poetry Art! 

We will use the iconic words of the Harlem Renaissance to uncover hidden verses and create striking visual art from vintage-style texts. It is a perfect opportunity to celebrate literary history while crafting your own modern poetic masterpieces.
