Still Waters Collective is an outreach initiative founded by Dasha Kelly in 2000. SWC delivers after school programming to high schools, teaching/artist residencies for primary school classrooms and community organizations, and produces public art events that showcase elite performance artists.
Kelly shared the prompt “hunger” with poets at Still Waters Collective in Milwaukee and responded to it herself.
