Oregon Humanities and the Tomorrow Theater present a live recording of The Detour podcast with poet and visual artist Anis Mojgani. Anis and host Adam Davis will dig into what it means to be an artist, fulfill a Governor-appointed, public role, and be a politically engaged individual, too. We’ll explore the relationship between art, art-making, and politics, maybe especially when one’s art is not overtly political.

Anis Mojgani is a two-time National Poetry Slam Champion, the author of six collections of poetry, and was the tenth Oregon Poet Laureate from 2020 to 2024. He previously appeared on a 2023 episode of The Detour about his poetry reading series Poems at Sunset Out a Window.

Ticket for this event are available at tomorrowtheater.org.
