On Saturday October 8th, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm, the ACWR will be hosting a free sound poetry workshop that will explore Windsor’s unique sonic landscape.

Participants will be given an introduction to sound poetry, including the work of some established sound poets, and will be invited to listen to a variety of sounds, including those coming from motor vehicles, which are encountered daily on the streets.

The results of the workshop will be displayed between Oct. 15th to Nov. 15th on the New Voices billboard.

This event will be facilitated by Dr. Karl Jirgens and ACWR staff.

The city of Windsor, Ontario is culturally and aesthetically defined by its history of resilience and its people. In the drive to cultivate urban progress and commercial growth however, the city has sacrificed venues, organizations, buildings, and entire neighbourhoods, often resulting in the displacement of lower-income and creative-class communities.

Moderated by New Voices Community Artist in Residence Hiba Abdallah, this panel brings together artists and community leaders to share their experiences and ideas around models of resource sharing and support in a city that oftentimes feels siloed from its respective neighbourhoods. We will brainstorm and discuss different models of care-pods and cross-city collaboration to better understand some of the challenges in sustaining creatives in a city like Windsor, ON.
