Our guest speaker is Dr Kane Holborn, exploring looking behind the canvas: repairing notions of (dis)ability through the tool of (in)verse ekphrasis – enacting art through description
By examining a series of contemporary poets with disabilities in conjunction with his own poetry, Kane will critically question how harmful notions of disability might be repaired.
Dr Kane Holborn’s poetry appears in The Lost Art of Staring into Fires (2022) and is due for publication in Dancing About Architecture and Other Ekphrastic Manoeuvres (2024); he runs his own poetry collective, Quills Anonymous, which meets monthly on Zoom. He has hosted poetry workshops at the University of Winchester, as well as at the Disability Expo as part of London Excel (2023).
The meeting will be Tuesday January 9th, at the Tower Arts Centre. Come along from 7pm. Talks start at 7:30pm. Members free, non-member tickets £10, students £2 (no advance booking, payment on entry).
