The Detour Live: Poetry and Politics, or not, with Anis Mojgani
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Oregon Humanities and the Tomorrow Theater present a live recording of The Detour podcast with poet and visual artist Anis Mojgani. Anis and host Adam Davis will dig into what it means to be an artist, fulfill a Governor-appointed public role, and be a politically engaged individual. Explore the relationship between art, art-making, and politics, especially when one’s art is not overtly political.
Anis Mojgani is a two-time National Poetry Slam Champion, the author of six collections of poetry, and was the tenth Oregon Poet Laureate from 2020 to 2024. He previously appeared on a 2023 episode of The Detour about his poetry reading series Poems at Sunset Out a Window.
