Join us for a night of poetry and magic with LindoYes. Imaginary Friends is a whimsical, poetic, magical event in which Lindo explores friendships, romance, grief, and all the big feelings that come with adulting. We’ll also explore how our imagination impacts our reality. We encourage you to arrive thirty minutes early to experience the exhibition before the event starts. We invite you to bring a friend, loved one, coworker, or neighbor to accompany you and enjoy the discounted pricing.

About LindoYes

LindoYes (he/hm), is a dyslexic spoken word poet born, raised and living in Philadelphia. He has been featured in the Philly Weekly, Philadelphia Inquirer, Button Poetry, and Def Poetry Jam to name a few. Lindo’s poetry has expanded to short animations, gumball machines, and plays where he has centered black existence, mental health, and fantasy/sci-fi. He was the recipient of the 2023 Jackie Robinson Award by Color of Change and the 2023 “Change Maker” Award by Uptown Standards. LindoYes will be releasing in December 2024 a graphic novel called “Pawnshop,” which is a sci-fi/fantasy anthology on Mental Health based in Philly.
