Recreational Meetings PV: Language with Mayra Rodriguez-Castro

Facilitated by Stephen Kwok, TT Advisor

Please join us for an experiential-experimental online meeting on Wednesday, Oct 27, 8:00pm EST.

An anonymous poetry workshop. Upon entering the session, participants turn off their cameras and rename themselves according to a choice they have made prior to the session. The facilitator reads a script and assigns each name a prompt for writing, which is voluntarily shared after a writing period.

Choosing a New Name, Mayra Rodriguez-Castro

Recreational Meetings invite participants to reimagine digital platforms and social formats through experimental and experiential exercises. Developed by Stephen Kwok in collaboration with creative practitioners from diverse fields, Recreational Meetings explore how distance may enable, rather than limit, engagement with our surroundings, ourselves, and each other.
