The NVERSE team was out on the streets today spreading some culture! We were excited to help out Morganton’s new Cultural Arts Commission with two efforts raising awareness for National Poetry Month.
Using a super-hydrophobic coating (Rainworks), our team stenciled poems around town that will only be visible when wet. Next rainy day, keep an eye out for random poetry on the sidewalks in Morganton!
For indoor poetry inspiration, the Morganton Cultural Arts Commission has set up several stations for Black Out Poetry. Black Out Poems are when a person takes a marker (usually black marker) to already established text—like in a newspaper—and starts redacting words until a poem is formed. The key thing with a blackout poem is that the text AND redacted text form a sort of visual poem. A big thanks to TOSS for helping out with the poetry paraphernalia.
