Creative aging artist in residence, funded by Ohio Arts Council!

Fariha Tayyab is a multidisciplinary artist and storyteller. As a writer and photographer, her work revolves around the themes of identity and social justice. Fariha's creative work is published in Columbus Alive, Vox Media, the Columbus anthology, and various literary journals and publications.

This seven-session creative writing workshop will explore various styles of poetry related to themes of identity, erasure, and migration. The work of various American poets of color, both past, and present, will be read, discussed, and reflected upon for elements and style. The workshop will both open and close with long and short writing to reflect a specific stylistic element and chosen theme. There will be opportunities to share out loud as well as write outside the workshop

We can't wait until you're able to join us in celebrating the reopening of the King Arts Complex!

Performance dates are as follows: 4/5; 4/12; 4/19; 4/26; 5/3; 5/10; and 5/17.
