historic National Poetry Day art performance Camden 2009

Camden artist Jo WOnder is one of our guests for National Poetry Day and she will be showing her stunning inter-active Ophelia-in-Progress Art and Poetry project, using some of our Purple Poets and TAD members as live Ophelias. It's an inspiring project, and it's exciting to watch a work-in-progress. Jo's Ophelia makes you want to write poems! Her 'Ophelia' is painted in bacteria (part of a project for the Wellcome Trust) and is modelled on the iconic John Everett Millais painting of Elizabeth Siddal as Ophelia). You can see it on YouTube, with the poems.
