Poetry of the Camps - MIT Registration
Welcome to our global poetry movement called "Poetry of the Camps"! 

Poetry of the Camps is a poetry workshop series offered through She Is Night, a creative arts collective curated for girls/women of color to reimagine a world beyond colorism by centering female protagonists. This poetry workshop is designed primarily for students of color on U.S. college campuses and students in the Palestinian and Rohingya refugee contexts. To stay true to our mission, we will center the voices of poets who are women of color. We will learn about colorism from the lenses of public health, colonialism/settler-colonialism, and the arts and write poetry together in community.

Session Dates:

Session 1: Poetry of the Camps - Tuesday, October 1
Session 2: What is Colorism? - Friday, October 11
Session 3: Homeland - Tuesday, October 15
Session 4: Love Letters to Palestine - Wednesday, October 23
Session 5: Huriye - Freedom - Tuesday, October 29
Community Event: Poetry of the Camps - Thursday, November 14

Who We Are:

She Is Night is a creative arts collective by Illuminated Cities curated for women of color (and our allies) to reimagine a world beyond colorism by centering female protagonists of color. 

Illuminated Cities is an education organization that works with local communities impacted by systemic violence and adversities. 

Written Revolution is a publication started by and for MIT students intended to allow the un-empowered voices on campus to share their creative projects in a collective framework. It is part of the MIT Coalition for Palestine (C4P).

Palestine at MIT is group of students dedicated to promoting the Palestinian culture and raising awareness about Palestine.

MIT Faculty and Staff for Palestine understands the struggle for Palestinian freedom to be aligned with anti-colonial movements and struggles around the world.
