Join us on Friday, June 14th at the Church Art House (Omaha, Ne) for our third Midwest Poetics: Writing Workshop of 2024 led by Omaha based artist and organizer, Dawaune Lamont Hayes.

We wanted to shift our focus and attention towards the ongoing demands of a CEASEFIRE for any and all peoples who have and are experiencing genocide by/at the state and government levels.

This writing workshop will encourage individuals who join us to ask essential questions regarding how we feel about what we collectively are experiencing in this continued uprising. There will be an opportunity during our workshop to write a letter, poem, song – however you choose – for yourself, congress, family, friends, communities you belong to — that is in support of how you feel about where we are and how our demand for Ceasefire is necessary for our reckoning and for us to create new paths of being, and living together.
