A Reading with Phanuel Antwi
Jun 20 | 6pm | Artist Talk | W Projects | Free
Join us at W Projects (555 Hamilton St.) for a public reading of On Cuddling: Loved to Death in the Racial Embrace with critically acclaimed artist and curator Phanuel Antwi. Ranging from the terrifying embrace of the slave ship’s hold to the racist encoding of “cuddly toys,” On Cuddling is a unique combination of essay and poetry that contends with the way racial violence is enacted through intimacy. This event is free and open to all. Presented in partnership with Or Gallery.
Please note: the venue of this event has changed. It takes place at W Projects, 555 Hamilton St.
