Join us for a special ekphrastic poetry and portraiture discourse event curated by Chapel Hill Poet Laureate Cortland Gilliam and inspired by The Outwin: American Portraiture Today. Hear readings of ekphrastic poems written in response to The Outwin, as well as poems representative of the portraiture, from Gilliam and local poets. This reading will be followed by a panel bringing together poets, visual artists, and literary/art scholars for a multidisciplinary conversation about the potential of poetry and portraiture to convey personal and collective stories and help us define a “we” today.
