Art of Cultura features a spoken word experience by Jovan Mays, inaugural and emeritus Poet Laureate of Aurora, Colorado, National Poetry Slam Champion, TED speaker and educator. With extensive experience working with youth through poetry outreach, Mays brings powerful storytelling and reflection to this program. Following the performance, participants will take part in a hands-on community art-making activity that invites families and youth to create together through shared cultural expression.
