Gallery Talk by P. Scott Cunningham,
Founder/Director of O, Miami. Thu Jan 10, 3PM
Every April since 2011, the O, Miami Poetry Festival has
embraced the goal that each and every person in Greater
Miami encounter a poem during the month of April.
Working with artists and organizations of all kinds,
they’ve painted poems on rooftops, made them into
tattoos, gold-leafed them into urinals, flown them behind
airplanes, and sewn them into clothing tags. How
to take the words… is O, Miami’s first-ever public retrospective,
documenting their work with objects, photos,
video and audio.

"These are portraits in oil of writers when
they were young. They were just ordinary
people...Appearance has nothing to do with
genius or talent or originality or anything
else important."

Artists such as Rick Worth and Pam
Hobbs have layered their signature
styles onto Blackburn’s photographs,
creating dual visions of Key West
scenes.
Bristol began her career as a portrait
painter before adding clay to her
repertoire. These days, she thrives in
the dichotomy of the two mediums,
imparting elements of West African
and Caribbean design.
