    Live and in person at Riverside Art Museum, 3425 Mission Inn Ave, Riverside, CA 92501

    Free to RAM members

    $5/adults $3/seniors & students

    Installation Viewing: June 25-July 16

    Are you looking for an interesting – yet easygoing – way to get back into the world? Do you wax nostalgic for the clickety-clack of a Smith-Corona? Then join Inlandia Institute and Riverside Art Museum in a joyful celebration of the typewriter! The installation includes eight typewriters you can actually touch – as well as one mystery typewriter with an intriguing origin story, under glass.

    Typewriters will be on display in the RAM Atrium from June 25-July 16 and visitors are encouraged to give them a try. Prove your skills with “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog” and other inspirations from typing class – or hunt and peck a tome of your own!

    And on Saturday, July 10, at 2:00 PM, join us for a special presentation from typewriter aficionado and repairman to the stars, Bob Marshall, who will talk about his love for this classic writing instrument, which, as he sees it, is “no longer the business machine of yesteryear, but the preferred writing tool for a curious, creative mind.” Journey with Bob through the decades and discover how these writing machines of old can find new purpose as a muse to your creative writing process. Typewriters provided – bring your imagination.

    Virtual Workshop: Photography and Poetry Ekphrasis with Dr. Natalie Graham


    July 11, 2021

    On Sunday, July 11, 2021, from 3:00-5:00 PM, please join Inlandia Institute for a virtual photography and poetry workshop with Dr. Natalie J. Graham, poet and co-founder of KayJo Creatives. As part of Inlandia’s Blacklandia event series, this workshop will explore the connection between ekphrastic poetry – poetry written in response to art – and the artistic medium of photography.

    Dr. Graham will guide participants on a writing journey through a series of writing prompts that consider the visual rhetoric of photographs as a foundation for metaphor, imagery, and story. As we consider the ways that photographs provide us new ways of seeing landscape and persona, we will explore the tanka form. Suggested reading: Urban Tumbleweed: Notes from a Tanka Diary by Harryette Mullen and Forest of Eyes by Tada Chomako.

    Along the roadside, someone has spilled

    pink Styrofoam peanuts. They add color

    to the grassy green, but I still prefer flowers.
