Poetry, Code, and the Body: An Evening with Ana María Caballero
Join an in-person conversation and reading with the award–winning poet and pioneer in digital poetics.
Overview
Join Young Professionals of the Americas and Art at Americas Society as we host pioneering poet Ana María Caballero for an evening of conversation, performed poetry, and artistic exploration.
Known for fusing traditional verse with new technologies, such as blockchain, Caballero will reflect on how poetry evolves in the digital age while remaining deeply rooted in the human experience. The event will spotlight her boundary-pushing literary projects and global exhibitions, offering insight into how digital formats are reshaping what it means to be a poet today. This event will occur during Art–Tech Summit Week, a citywide celebration of innovation in the creative industries. Caballero will be in conversation with AS/COA's Chase Harrison and Tatiana Marcel.
This event is open to YPA and Americas Society members.
A reception will follow the event.
