Join us Thursday, April 2, at 7:30 pm, for a poetry reading by Jacob Shores-Argüello in the exhibition Sheila Pepe: When & Where We Rest. Shores-Argüello is interested in overlapping spaces—the twilight between geologies, cultures, and languages, between humanity and the natural world. His reading will feature poetry and prose that celebrates neither work nor sleep, but the times in-between.The reading will be followed by a brief conversation with Shores-Argüello and Pepe and light refreshments. This event is free and open to the public.
