Join us at Assemblage for a unique creative experience rooted in reflection—both visual and literary. Inspired by the gallery’s latest exhibition, Seeing Double, this ekphrastic writing workshop invites participants to explore artwork that plays with duality, mirrored forms, and layered meaning in both image and concept.
We’ll begin with a guided walk through the gallery led by art curator, Anne Pagel, taking time to find the pieces that speak to us most. Then, poet and teaching artist Zedeka Poindexter will lead participants through generative writing prompts designed to spark poetic and narrative responses to the visual work.
This is more than just a gallery visit—it’s an opportunity to engage deeply with art and build new creative work that begins with the visual and transforms through words. All levels of writing experience are welcome. Come curious and leave with fresh reflections of your own.
Zedeka Poindexter is a poet, performer, and teaching artist who believes in the power of words to build connection and spark reflection. As Executive Director of the Nebraska Writers Collective, she leads workshops that help writers find their voice and draw inspiration from the world around them.
This class will meet at Assemblage at 1828 N St. Lincoln, NE a private exhibition space founded by Karen and Robert Duncan and Kathryn and Marc LeBaron.
