Diego Gerard Morrison
– Casa Wabi 2025
Community Project
With the experimental poetry and declamation workshop, a self-referential writing technique was developed through textual development based on imagination, meditation, breathing and voice calibration to culminate in readings aloud from the experimental declamation of texts developed in situ. The diverse impacts of the visual image that emerges from meditation, breathing and the translation of the semi oniric image into experimental poetry were explored, deriving in a space where the written word acquires value as a therapeutic method around themes of our place of origin, our family, the ontological-symbolic space of the home and our personal and social longings.
