We're honored to welcome writer, editor, and visual poet Zoria Petkoska for an insightful talk as part of our Special Programs. Zoria holds a master's degree in literature and is a visual poetry researcher whose work has been featured in exhibitions and publications, including her notable books Dystokyo and Zborigami. She is also the culture features editor at The Japan Times and an editor at Tokyo Poetry Journal.

In her talk, Photography as a Partner to Poetry, Zoria will share how she has always sought to combine the textual and the visual in her work. She will explore the evolution of the poetic tradition of haiga and its relevance to modern artists who partner photography with poetry, calligraphy, and collage.

Drawing from her research and personal collaborations, Zoria will share a myriad of expressions and ways to partner photography and poetry, providing a deeper understanding of how these two art forms can enrich and inform each other's practice. This talk is intended for photographers, writers, and anyone interested in how image and text can create new forms of cultural expression and engagement.
