Program Description
Event Details
Our area is swarming with stories of witches, ghosts, goblins, and monsters. In this one hour workshop, participants will embrace all that is strange and explore a local, legendary figure that has impacted them. Using the Jersey Devil as an example, Kailey Tedesco will share work from her own collection, MOTHERDEVIL--an exploration of postpartum and motherhood through the voice of Mother Leeds. We will then work through a series of generative activities related to cultural conceptions of folklore, abjection, and revisionist poetics. Each participant will leave having generated at least one legendary persona poem. There will also be opportunities to receive constructive feedback from the cohort. This is a beginner friendly workshop.
Anyone who loves folklore and horror is welcome!
Please note this event is only accessible by stairs. Registration is required below and is for adults only. If you can no longer attend, please cancel your registration to allow space for those on the waitlist.
