Event

Create a poetic conversation! Participants will respond to Saif Azzuz’s sculpture weych-pues / tàkhòne (where the rivers meet) by imagining the thoughts of both the sturgeon and the watery environment in which it resides. These will then be cut and configured into a two-person poem. This program will be led by Mala Hoffman.
