Artist/Organization Mission:


The mission of The Poet Lady Rose: To provide education, empowerment and community services through literature and performance arts.


THE EVENT: 


The event will be a combination of a film screening and spoken word poetry showcase. The film--my very first effort as a filmmaker is called Petals and Thorns: A Spoken Word Journey, which tells the story of four Black Portland teens' experience in an intensive writing and spoken word camp. It follows their journey from novice writers at the beginning of the camp to their performance of their very own pieces to the public on the last day of the one-week camp. The film is 30 minutes and there will be a short artist talkback and Q&A.


The second half will be a spoken word showcase featuring both youth and adults. There will be a few featured performers, as well as a curated open mic. From the start of the screening through the performances will be about 2.5 to 3 hours. The poetry showcase will be split into two sets--a youth set and an adult set, featuring a variety of performers, including headliners for each set. Four distinguished Black Portland poets who will be featuring during the showcase. Their bios can be found later in this form. There will also be opportunities for artists to be vendors at the event.
