In the Dizikes Cases (now-2/22/14)

For many years, Cowell Programs and Cowell Senate have annually hosted a quarterly Poetry Slam Series presented by poetry collective Kinetic Poetics Projects (KPP). Kinetic Poetics Youth Project was launched Spring 2013 at Costanoa High School by a few dedicated organizers of the KPP. The KPYP aims to connect university and high school students in creating and learning about spoken word and written poetry. This display features the work of high school students involved in KPYP. Students are exposed to a variety of poetry, authors, and social movements that use art as a tool for change and awareness. Poetry is emphasized as an avenue to express yourself and ultimately share untold narratives. KPYP members have come a long way, from sharing their work at Costanoa, to performing in a UCSC classroom, to displaying work in the Dizikes Art Cases. Feast your eyes on their work!
