Planetaria: Visual Poetry & Star Gazing - Live Reading & Planetarium Show
Join us for an enchanting evening of poetry in the planetarium by acclaimed visual poet, Monica Ong. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Monica’s innovative approach to visual poetry beautifully combines text and image to uncover the hidden narratives of women and diaspora. Planetaria, Ong’s latest exhibition of astronomy-inspired visual poetry was exhibited at the Poetry Foundation and the Hunterdon Art Museum. The exhibition merges the wonders of astronomy into poems as star maps and lyrical diagrams, creating a unique experience that expands the ways of seeing and connecting with each other. Come immerse yourself in a spellbinding evening where visual poetry meets the stars. This event promises to be a novel experience, merging the beauty of the written word with the marvels of the cosmos.
