✨ WORKSHOP ✨

As creatives, we're often told to "put ourselves out there" but what does that actually mean?

This workshop explores how artists and poets can better understand their creative identity and communicate it with intention.

Through discussion, reflection, and writing, participants will examine the relationship between who they are, what they create, and how they share that work with others.

Together, we'll explore:

✨ Discovering your personal aesthetic and creative identity
✨ Clarifying your message
✨ Translating your vibe into visuals
✨ Identifying ideal platforms
✨ Creating a poem that embodies your brand identity

Whether you're building an audience, sharing your work for the first time, or simply curious about how your creative presence is perceived, this workshop offers practical tools for connecting your art to the people you want to reach.

✨️ WORKSHOP ✨️

What are the boundaries we place around the Self?

In a world that teaches separation, this workshop asks us to look closer at our interconnectedness: to explore how identity, grief, loneliness, tenderness, and belonging live within us and alongside one another.

Led by Tay (@1.splendidly_tay), this workshop invites participants into embodied practice, guided imaginative exploration, and expressive writing centered on narrative empathy and the Self as metaphor.

Together, we’ll reflect on what it means to exist in relationship: to ourselves, to others, and to the greater whole around us.

This workshop is open to poets and non-poets alike. Come as you are.

Weaving the Patterns / Tejiendo la Tierra

What does it mean to create?

Maybe it begins with paying attention. With listening to the land, to each other, to the quiet ideas that ask us to make something out of nothing. We carry that same energy in our bodies, moving, shifting, connecting. We write it, we weave it, we paint it, we project it. We make it visible.

Weaving the Patterns / Tejiendo la Tierra is a collaborative three part series presented by Unfolded: Poetry Project, ENTRE, and Trucha, in collaboration with Calle Soledad Presa and artist Diana Lizette Rodriguez.

This is a space to create together.

Rooted in the belief that creativity exists in everything, this series moves across poetry, bookmaking, experimental film, and performance. It is hands on, locally led, and grounded in the idea that there is art in logic and creativity in the technical, that we can build something meaningful when we step into process together.

We begin with poetry and bookbinding, shaping memory and ancestry into a collective CODEX. We continue into film, working directly with 16mm to paint, weave, and build moving images by hand. We gather in the end to share what was made, bringing it to life through exhibition and performance.

This is an invitation to try something new. To see differently. To create alongside others and to be part of something that grows with each person who steps in.

✨ WORKSHOP ✨

Between who you were and who you’re becoming, there is a space.

Join us for our workshop, led by Rey Villanueva ( ), as we explore the in between, the moments of transition where discomfort and comfort exist side by side.

No matter where you find yourself, in the midst of big life changes or simply learning how to feel at home within yourself, you are always evolving.

This workshop invites you to sit with that becoming.

Because even as something new waits for you, there is still so much to honor in who you have been, and who you are now.

📍 McAllen Public Library (Meeting Room A&B)
📅 Tuesday, March 31st
⏰ 7:00 PM CST

Always free and open to all poets, writers, artists, feelers, and thinkers.

Come as you are, let's write together!
