Living Poetry Project

Helen McGuire Lawn and Online
The Living Poetry Project
The Living Poetry Project grew from an idea of placing human connection at the heart of our art. We asked four students to delve into their lived experience, who took inspiration from their own story and relationships, to compose a written piece to share with you during SEXtember. These words are their living poetry.

From this seed grew a collective love poem, threaded together by writer and poet, Natalia Rachel, with an accompanying music piece composed by composer Sophia Christopher to match. Greater than the sum of its parts, this is a true nod to relationships that are both Salty and Sweet.

Experience the physical exhibition of the Living Poetry Project on the Helen Maguire Lawn in Week 3, and any time online.
