Enjoy refreshments, papercuts, and poetry, and see for yourself why these luminaries were chosen from a pool of extraordinary creatives to be our new Hackerman Artist and Writer in Residence.

About the New Hackerman Artist and Writer in Residence:

Annie Howe’s intricate papercuts are used for a variety of projects including illustration, surface design, and three dimensional work. Annie has a BFA in Fiber from the Maryland Institute College of Art, and worked extensively in community arts producing parades and shadow puppet shows. That opened the door to the intimate art of papercutting. She established Annie Howe Papercuts in 2010 to create handmade papercuts for businesses, publications, and private collections. Her practice includes papercutting workshops for people of all ages. She has taught at a variety of locations, including museums, summer camps, universities, libraries, and in private residences. In 2024, Annie was an Artist in Residence at Ladew Topiary Gardens in Jarrettsville, MD. During her residency, she engaged visitors with workshops, lectures, and produced a solo exhibition inspired by her residency. Photo of Annie Howe by Vivian Doering.

Taylor Johnson is from Washington, DC. He is the author of Inheritance (Alice James Books, 2020), winner of the 2021 Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America and a 2024 Whiting Award. His work appears in Poetry Magazine, The Paris Review, The Baffler, Scalawag, and elsewhere. Johnson is a Cave Canem graduate fellow and a recipient of the 2017 Larry Neal Writers’ Award from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities, and the 2021 Judith A. Markowitz Award for Emerging Writers from Lambda Literary. Taylor was the inaugural 2022 Poet-in-Residence at the Guggenheim Museum. He is the Poet Laureate of Takoma Park, Maryland. With his wife, Elizabeth Bryant, and the poet Simon Shieh, Taylor curates the Green Way Reading Series at People’s Book in Takoma Park. Photo of Taylor Johnson by S*an D. Henry-Smith.
