FreeOn Remembering, On Forgetting: A poetry performance
As we negotiate a world of co-existing crisis and beauty, poetry can help us make sense of our place in the contemporary moment. What we remember and what we forget is often a social, familial, political, and personal process; the way that we reinscribe meaning or power into our pasts to help determine our futures. Join Jazz Money, Ellen van Neerven, Sara M Saleh, Rob Waters and Iona Winter as they perform works that contemplate the personal, political, and social histories that inform our present.
This is a free event; no bookings required.
