Kitty Purr
Kitty Purr is a monthly meetup that is all about mixing poetry with visual art while making new friends in a relaxed and friendly safespace. It’s a chance to learn, explore, and have fun while trying out new things.
Inspired by the vintage ‘Poesie album’ this visual poetry project started in search of giving new meaning to poetry albums. Now it’s up to you to decide what it's supposed to be!
With every monthly meetup, we want to inspire you with a program where we will explore visual art and poetry through literature, writing and drawing. Every night will have an in-depth workshop with a special theme and guest artist. Besides gaining new skills the goal is to create a safe space where we will exchange our 'Purry Pockets' to grow from each other's perspectives. Join us at the next meetup on wednesday 13th of november
What is a poesie album?

Meetup #2 - Visual poetry & 'collections' with Roos KeetelsThe evening began with a small introduction and a couple of writing exercises to overcome the initial obstacle one may face when starting out. Roos Keetels introduced the group to visual poetry and poetry in performance. Inviting the participants to think about the secret collections that they gather and carry with them daily.
The participants opened up their pockets and bags to uncover the things they have unconsciously collected. Reflecting in conversation on why they kept them and what drew them to these items. With the items laid out before them, the participants were challenged to create a visual based on sense. A taste, a smell; crafting a piece of visual poetry to reside in their 'purry pockets'. Meetup #1 Bookbinding
The first meetup of Kitty Purr took place on a cozy afternoon at the printmaking workshop Grafische Werkplaats RAAF.
Particpants were able to create their very own "Purry pocket," the first step into the book designed to hold poetry in it's many forms that is yet to be explored in the next meetups. Below a photo impression by Lucy Schreurs
