Ledger Art Poetry

For its 5th edition, the Poetry Downtown Festival shines a spotlight on American Indian poetry—celebrating the rich traditions, vibrant voices, and visionary perspectives Indigenous poets bring to our stages!

Artist … will teach us how to create Ledger Art Poetry,
narrative drawings or paintings with words on paper or cloth. It flourished from the 1860s to 1920s and was revived in the 1960s–70s. In 2023, it was displayed at the Library of Congress.
