Ready-made poetry workshop

Next date: Friday, 03 October 2025 | 12:00 PM to 12:30 PM

Join resident Artsbox artist Mito Elias for a short (free) workshop, where he will be sharing some exercises in ready-made poetry.

Ready-made poetry is an artistic practice that involves recontextualising found texts into new poetic works.

Gain inspiration from your surroundings in the Footscray Library courtyard and enjoy learning more about this interesting poetic technique.

About the artist

Mito Elias' residency project, Palimp_ Texto Dialogues, is an interdisciplinary exploration of poetry in all its forms.

During his Artsbox residency, Mito will experiment with spoken word and soundscapes, ephemeral “environmental poetics” using light and texture, and avant-garde video poetry.

Mito also plans to host readings and screenings that invite deeper reflection and community dialogue.

Community voices are at the heart of the project. Residents will be invited to contribute words, sounds and visual fragments, helping to weave a shared poetic record of Footscray.
