![]() Really pleased to be presenting Frame to Frames : Your Eyes Follow / Cuadro a Cuadros : Tus Ojos Siguen at We Need to Write About Art: Ekphrasis Now, Leeds Trinity University on Saturday, 6th July. Organised by Oz Hardwick, Leeds Trinity University and Cassandra Atherton, Deakin University, Australia, the symposium focuses on ‘current thinking devoted to ekphrastic responses to artworks in diverse media’. For those of you who don’t know, Frame to Frames is a unique bilingual publication published with poems on artworks and a QR link to the 17-film poetry film screening based on the poems, first held at FOTOGENIA, Mexico City, winter 2023. The festival painting I selected as a potential prompt was Huapango Torero by Mexican non-binary artist Ana Segovia, and the theme was taking a stand against animal cruelty and machismo. Other artists followed their own equally inspiring artworks and paths. The Frame to Frames project celebrates three creative forms: art inspiring art, translation and intermedia. So often in watching poetry films the poem passes you by, but the book allows you to press pause, really take in the poem on the page then return to the film. Here, it is possible to see how words and meaning can be transformed through the filmmaker’s process.
