Unfolded: Poetry Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 2022. We provide free poetry workshops, host monthly open mics, and organize community-centered literary events throughout the Rio Grande Valley.
This workshop, You Will Know My Name, will be led by Raven.
What does it mean to leave your mark?
Long after we are gone, stories, poems, songs, and works of art remain. They become records of who we were, what we witnessed, what we loved, and what we refused to forget.
This workshop invites participants to reflect on art not simply as self-expression but as an act of remembrance and resistance. Together, we will explore how poetry can preserve histories, honor communities, and ensure that our voices become part of the larger human story.
Whether you are writing about your family, your neighborhood, your culture, or your own lived experiences, your words have the power to outlive the moment in which they were written. Because history is not only found in textbooks. Sometimes, it is found in a poem.
We meet in person at the McAllen Public Library, but the workshop is also offered in a hybrid format for those who would like to join remotely. The virtual access link is also available through the link in our Instagram bio at @unfoldedpoetryproject.
This workshop is free and open to poets, writers, artists, feelers, and thinkers of all ages.
