Log on in the month of April for a virtual poem born out of our complex times. This poly vocal, kaleidoscopic animation and sound project is a collaboration between digital artist and musician Kathy McTavish and poet Hawona Sullivan Janzen, originally commissioned to do separate projects for Northern Light.mn’s Spring Howl fundraiser. Tickets to the online experience are on sale through April 23rd and support the artistic programming of Northern Lights.mn
If you have already purchased a ticket, your ticket will automatically convert to a digital Spring Howl ticket.
