First Friday: Alt Text As Poetry Workshop
December 1, 2023 @ 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Free
Posters are a visual medium. How can they be made more accessible to the blind and low vision community? Poster House is thrilled to welcome Finnegan Shannon (they/them) and Bojana Coklyat (she/her) as they lead visitors through a workshop on how to reframe alt text (short, written descriptions of images) as a type of poetry. Inspired by posters from the museum’s collection, visitors will practice writing, discussing, and reframing this type of accessible writing. To learn more about this larger project, visit the Alt Text as Poetry website.
Accessibility Notes:
An ASL interpreter and assistive listening devices will be provided. Seating will include stools and chairs. Tactile posters and fidget tools will also be available.
