Alesha's Poetry Videos

In the final weeks of this year's residency, Alesha created some amazing videos out of her poetry.

This first one, "I Hate the Way I Love You" deconstructs a relationship - the good & the bad:



The second video is a piece to honor soldiers, and the sacrifices they've made.



And this last one was made in secrecy, as we set up for our final First Friday event, as a thank you to the artists in residence! Thank you Alesha!
