Progress on Ecotopia: A Speculative Visual Art and Creative Writing Collaboration

Ecotopia is a themed and interdisciplinary collaborative art project that will be exhibited in a special issue online in 2023. Harpur Palate is excited to share the selected poetic and hybrid ekphrastic responses to these visual pieces on our homepage, “FLOURISH,” “Horizon,” and “Making Time for the Ocean.” Check back for the full special issue later this year!
