Strangers' Poems specializes in creating captivating activations which are poetic in essence, though not always in form. Ben Bernthal & Holly Zimbert have developed a specific aesthetic which utilizes novelty, nostalgia, surrealism, and tactility to inspire meaningful & memorable experiences.
Since 2017, Strangers' Poems has written thousands of bespoke poems for the humans we've met, with performances spanning 18 states & 5 countries, using our signature model: “Give 3 words, get a poem.” Drawing from this immense catalog of requests & resulting poems, Strangers' Poems has created the flagship activation/publication called Mystery Poems, which highlights our guiding principle, “The personal IS the universal.”
Whether creating sensory experiences on a public city block, leading writing workshops for corporate team building, or facilitating immersive collaborations within world class museums, Strangers' Poems is always dreaming up artful new ways to funnel ephemeral moments of connection & curiosity into lasting artifacts.
