WORKSHOP
RitLab: Magnetic Poetry Slam
The Contemporary Jewish Museum’s popular after work DIY workshop RitLab (Ritual Laboratory) is back for a summer slam of poetry and art making in honor of Gertrude Stein, the subject of the Museum’s current exhibition Seeing Gertrude Stein: Five Stories. Stein’s ever-so clever way with words is the inspiration as you create your own word magnets (complete with personalized poetry tin), swap with other RitLab-ers, and participate in a poetry slam hosted by poet and Bay Area slaminatrix Mona Webb. The evening also features an eclectic and hilarious mash up performance by Joshua Walter, internationally acclaimed comedian, poet and original member of the Bay Area beatbox collective The Vowel Movement.
