An evening with two readings, moving from the courtyard into Geza.
Mayra reads with the November wind in our courtyard accompanied by Senti (2022), her new sound sculpture made of consecutive hollow, metal chimes tuned to Mayra’s voice. “As a voice is drawn from currents, as air enters the throat and rides, as temperature soars within, and daytime thins or dilates, as words fill the mouth whenever spoken, unique in each room and finding shape, as delicate a climate, a voice oscillates.”
Lillian-Yvonne works at “the intersections of the innovative and experimental with race, gender, and the more-than-human world. My work is ground in inquiry, ways of knowing, and how language can (and cannot) communicate experiences felt in body and mind.” Known for their versatile practice in poetry, prose, and essays, as well as in photography, video and emerging technologies, they will read new work and forthcoming poems from their next book of poetry, Negative Money.
This event is organized in the framework of SIREN (some poetics), a group exhibition and a poetics devoted to technologies of myth and mouth, earth and alarm, gender and language.
Prior registration is recommended.
