Cultural Alliance of Long Beach & Wordz in Motion

Wordz in Motion has been a project that Poet Urban Voodoo and I have been tailoring for the past two years. Saturday, February 2, 2013 was the first experimental performance series. It was a night of creativity and awareness surrounded by positive smiling faces. I am excited to share a little slice of that evening.

Cultural Alliance of Long Beach and Publishing Urban Words presents.... Wordz In Motion: A Celebration of the Beauty of Expression Through Art and Poetry. Featuring Spoken Word Artist UrbanVoodoo and the Inkwell Collective with Classical Calligraphy Artist Lisa Engelbrecht and the works of lettering artist Barbara Close, the exhibit will meld contemporary urban spoken word with the practice of Calligraphy to produce powerful statements on contemporary culture. The Society for Calligraphy, Southern California will demonstrate hand lettering and participants will be able to make bookmarks and cards.

I'm Reading at the Craft & Folk Art Museum

The CAFAM Shop is thrilled to introduce a new zine/small press section, curated by L.A. Zine Fest and The Pop-Hop . We're celebrating the launch of the new collaboration Saturday, April 18th, and you're invited. Work from The Blk Grrrl Show , John Pham, Yumi Sakugawa :: Comic Book Artist + Illustrator , Tiny Splendor , and Selfish. This is really exciting for me because I have been a zinester since 2010 with the launch of my Black Punk Rock themed zine "Abstract By Nature." I'll be there representing with the #blkgrrrl show and reciting a few of my poems from my chapbook "Rage Love Complexity." Very honored to share the stage with Pam Ward and Teka Lark Fleming. I donated books and I will have chapbooks available at the Pop Hop in Highland Park, Ca. See you there, Zoe Blaq

This was an inspiring weekend for every type of writer who needs a little push. I had fun sharing my poetry with a talented group of Los Angeles poets at the annual LitFest Pasadena.
