It’s always amazing when poetry meets another form of art. Check out this cool event taking place this Mother’s Day in Iowa.
FASHION
Poetry in Motion Fashion Show
When: 3 p.m. May 11
Where: Pedestrian Mall stage
Admission: FreePoetry causes our minds to examine ideas of deep emotion and passion. So it’s not surprising that the medium is used to vocalize the love and gratitude felt toward mothers. Poetry in Motion takes that one step further, daring to blend the measured rhythm of poetry with the visual flair of a fashion show.
At 3 p.m. May 11, the Kingdom Center Ministry will host the Poetry in Motion Fashion show on the Pedestrian Mall stage in honor of Mother’s Day. Though the event is free, donations will be taken, with the proceeds going to the Kingdom Center Ministry to help with the restoration of its building and planning of events, in addition to the Johnson County Crisis Center.
“We’ve done other fundraisers to help raise money for this event [things such as] bake sales and ice cream socials,” said Michelle Rogers who organized the event. “We’ve gotten a lot of support from local businesses. The love we’ve seen from our church family and the community is amazing; we couldn’t have done any of it without their support.”
Primarily a fashion show, the event will be flavored by a variety of themes ranging from contemporary culture to reggae and including a “Mommy and Me” portion. While looking for models, the crew was very intentional about the level of diversity in the show.
