All styles welcome.
Thanks to everyone who made last month's event, the first at per.spec.tive, a great success!
This month, prepared to be astounded once again. February's featured artist is Sarah Murphy, poet,
writer, activist, visual artist, and acclaimed in every category.
There is lots of space, but seats are limited. Please feel free to bring chairs or blankets to sit on.
Imagine a folk fest in February, except indoors with poetry, and with awesome art on the walls.
Organized by Kirk Ramdath.
Sarah Murphy's bio:
Sarah Murphy is of mixed Choctaw, English, Irish and Hispanic heritage. A translator, interpretor, visual
artist, social activist, teacher and author of five books, she was born and raised in New York City, and
lived in Mexico before making her home in Canada in 1973.
Throughout her life she has worked with movements for social justice, and victims of torture and
political violence as well as other forms of abuse, and these are often the issues that she explores in
her work as a writer and visual artist.
Her writing is strongly autobiographical, exploring the strange alienated view children have of the adult
world, and revealing the violent, absurd and comical aspects of growing up working class in New York
City.
