Telling Tales of Engagement: ‘A New Way to Connect’ & ‘Informed Giving’

As a ‘Telling Tales of Engagement’ poet, I was commissioned to create by Inspace to cut through the corpus of a major research project that took place between 2019 and 2021. I created two bodies of work as part of this commission: a visual-poetic response and a written piece.

‘A New Way to Connect’ explores the ways to access knowledge, through novel technology, may serve to empower, inform and detach an individual donor.

‘Informed Giving?’ is a visual-poetic response that marries poetry and movement as a commentary on the movement between space, time and knowledge created through the block-chain enabled donation tool.Bakita has used the found poetry technique to take words and passages from the data source and reconfigure them into a written creative piece.

You can read, and watch Bakita’s pieces be performed here.
