Magnitud/e

A Literary Event Presented in Conjunction with the FotoFest Exhibition Crónicas.

Thursday January 31st, 2013 at 6pm
FotoFest Headquarters, 1113 Vine St, Houston, TX 77002

Magnitud/e is one of the major programs for FotoFest’s new original multi-media exhibition "Crónicas," showcasing seven contemporary Mexican visual artists who are interpreting, rather than documenting, the violence of the Mexican drug war. 

This bilingual poetry event features three acclaimed poets from Northern Mexico and two from the Houston area. The work of each of these poets creates a dialogue around the on-going violence in Mexico using a variety of techniques from appropriation to translation, from slam poetry to post-conceptual writing.
