Poetry & Photography: A Creative Dive into Memory & Identity

This special workshop will be held at the Google Visitor Center in Mountain View, CA.

In this playful, hands-on creativity workshop with filmmaker Tricia Creason-Valencia, tap into the joy and pain of lived experiences through a combination of poetry writing and photography with Google Pixel phones. 

Attendees will create short “I Am” poems, then turn the lens on themselves—literally—using Google Pixel portrait photography to creatively frame who they are and how they want to be seen.

About Wellness Wednesdays: This event is part of Google’s weekly Wellness Wednesdays in collaboration with Mosaic America. Mosaic America builds cohesive communities through intercultural arts and dialogue.
