This Mother’s Day, join Milagro for Verso en Movimiento (Poetry in Motion), a free midday event that combines a creative poetry-writing workshop with a bike ride around the Central Eastside to explore our neighborhood’s beautiful and powerful public artwork. Starting at 11:30 AM, participants will bring their bicycles to El Zócalo community gathering space at El Centro Milagro, where they will use provided materials to decorate their bikes (or themselves!) in any way they feel best celebrates mothers and motherhood. At noon, everyone will engage in a 30-minute writing workshop led by Milagro’s Executive Director, Dañel Malán-González, in which they will explore themes related to motherhood and/or specific connections to mothers. Afterward, everyone will hop on their bikes and take to the streets for a tour of some of the most compelling street art the eclectic Central Eastside has to offer, with a midway stop to snack, commune, and share some of their stories. Here's our route: https://ridewithgps.com/routes/54840527 All participants will be invited (but not required!) to share their writing as part of the Open Mic Prologue that kicks off the 2:00 PM matinee performance of Carissa Atallah’s Brown Face, the final show of Season 43: Fuerza en Famlia. Regardless of whether one chooses to perform, Milagro will provide all attendees the opportunity to attend the Brown Face matinee for just $17 each (a savings of $13 per ticket off the regular adult price). Can you join The Street Trust as a volunteer ride escort? No experience necessary and training will be provided. Sign up here: https://www.thestreettrust.org/verso
