Dayton Metro Library will host the traveling collaborative student exhibition, Walking With Words, at three locations. In the exhibit, University of Dayton Department of Art and Design graphic design students visualized 20 poems by Dayton poet Sierra Leone. Students created new meaning to Leone’s poems by celebrating humanity, community, inclusivity, and diversity.
Walking With Words will be displayed at:
- Main Library, Wednesday, May 4 - Wednesday, June 8
- Vandalia Branch Library, Monday, June 13 - Monday July 11
- Southeast Branch Library, Monday July 18 - Monday, August 15
The exhibit also features new work by Misty Thomas-Trout that educates patrons on dyslexia through the visualization of Leone’s poem titled My Native Tongue is Silence.
The exhibit is available for viewing during open Library hours. For more information about Walking With Words, visit the Library’s Events Calendar at DaytonMetroLibrary.org/Programs, or call the Library’s Ask Me Line at 937.463.2665.
