POETRY READING AND EXHIBITION

Grounded in Detroit’s voice, "1,2, No Sudden Moves" blends verse and visual arts. The exhibition presents Rhonda Greene's ten poems, written after the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, reimagined as nursery rhymes. These are paired with ten powerful visual works created by Detroit artists to accompany and illustrate the poems. "1,2, No Sudden Moves" elevates Detroit artists' unique perspectives and their ability to use art for social commentary and to contribute to collective memory. The exhibition features visual works by:
