Collision
Collision is a vibrant and innovative event that brings together the creative talents of photographers and poets, resulting in inspiring and thought-provoking collaborative artworks. Founded in 2008 by renown photographer David Schroeder and former city of Modesto Poet Laureate Sam Pierstorff, this uniquely creative initiative blends visual and literary art forms, fostering a rich dialogue between the two. The collaboration pairs poets with photographers in an effort to explore new dimensions of expression, inspiring each other and their audiences in the process.
This fusion of photography and poetry not only enriches the individual pieces but also highlights the profound connections between visual and verbal storytelling, making it an essential platform for contemporary artistic exploration. Collision not only showcases the talents of individual artists but also underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in enriching and expanding the cultural and artistic landscape of Modesto.
