There are so many ways to celebrate Literary Month at Mad Arts and the Miami Book Fair.
In partnering with Miami Book Fair for its annual festival in South Florida, digital poetry gallery theVERSEverse is offering free passes to Mad Arts for the week of November 17-24 — see instructions below — with special programming at the Miami Book Fair on Sunday, November 24th:
How to get your free Mad Arts pass:
Anytime during Miami Book Fair week, stop by the Poetry Holobox at MDC’s Wolfson Campus in the Building 1 Atrium to sample the festival’s rich collection of 21st-century Latino poetry and get your complimentary Mad Arts pass (valid only November 17-24, 2024 for one person/pass).
These Holo/Voices, the result of an ongoing partnership with the Miami Book Fair, are an extension of the Lit Encounters exhibition and present poets whose work appears in Latino Poetry: The Library of America Anthology. Bringing more creative experiences within public reach, this effort gives Miami Book Fair attendees the chance to explore Lit Encounters and other installations for FREE.
Recently launched in November, Lit Encounters is a long-term exhibition presented by Mad Arts in partnership with digital poetry gallery theVERSEverse. It brings one of humanity’s most enduring forms of expression into the museum space as the main event. Gathering writers, visual artists, and code poets, Lit Encounters presents poetry as a multimedia experience, showing how technological innovation can expand its power. It also educates on how the blockchain can serve as a means of publishing and sharing verse, ensuring its preservation. Learn more at the exhibition page.
This installation was made possible through a grant from the Tezos Foundation and Mad Arts’ non-profit wing.
theVERSEverse – a women-led collective of poets, artists, and creative technologists – commissions, curates, and sells digital poems, emphasizing craft and creating lasting value that can support artists financially. In this literary gallery, poem = work of art. Founded in November 2021 by Ana María Caballero, Kalen Iwamoto, and Sasha Stiles — with Elisabeth Sweet joining thereafter to support communications and community outreach — theVERSEverse is a collective of poets, writers, artists, editors, curators, and creative technologists working to unlock the literary potential of the blockchain.
By donating to Mad Arts, you're not just supporting a non-profit; you're investing in the future of art and technology, fostering a cultural legacy, and uplifting the South Florida community.
