SPECIAL MULTI-MEDIA EVENT
Book Art Presentation and Poetry Reading with Open Panel Discussion
Lisa presents a special Book Art Presentation & Poetry Reading of I Know How to be Helpful with Open Panel Discussion.
Join the creators of I Know How to be Helpful, a letterpress book of a poem of the same name, by Lisa Wujnovich. The book speaks in the inside and outside voice of a 12-year-old girl who is coerced into a dangerous car ride by a stranger.
I Know How to be Helpful, Z’roah Press, 2024, limited edition of 24 copies, was created by the book artists, Roni Gross and Peter Schell, and is a Minnesota Center for Book Art Prize Semi-finalist 2024.
A film of the unfolding of the art book by filmmaker, David Dawkins, will be shown overlaid with a live reading, followed by a panel discussion about the making of the book and the importance of voice in empowering and protecting girls’ and women’s bodies in today’s political climate.
Friday 6/7/25
