It could be a plum in a William Carlos Williams poem, a skull in Hamlet, or a Sorcerer’s Stone in Harry Potter, but whether object, idea, or belief, some things just call to us as sacred in a piece of writing. What’s sacred to you?
Join the Loft and Minneapolis Institute of Arts for an interactive event that will have you exploring the MIA’s Sacred exhibition through the lens of the Hero’s Sacred Journey. Activities throughout the event will invite you to write, exchange, and rebuild your own version of the Hero’s Journey. You’ll get to explore the exhibition in a new light, examine some questions about the meaning of sacred, and find some time to share a thought (or a drink) with fellow wanderers. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind event.
7:15 p.m.- Announcement of the Sacred Shorts Writing Contest winner
7:30 p.m.- Open Mic
Special guest hosts include Button Poetry, Aki Shibata, Matt Rasmussen, Martin Connell, Karen Hering, Donna Trump, and many others.
