About the Event
Join us for a reading by poet Layli Long Soldier and post-conversation with artist Tanya Lukin Linklater in conjunction with the exhibition Duane Linklater: mymothersside and the new program series Politics of Poetics.
About the Series
Politics of Poetics is a new quarterly program series held in the MCA’s Edlis Neeson Theater that highlights today’s leading poets whose practices traverse the political through writing, teaching, and activism. The series invites poets from across the globe to give readings and be in conversation with artists and other thinkers about the themes in their work. Historically, poets and visual artists have benefitted from close collaboration and artistic exchange, sharing in technical approaches and critical ideas of the day. Like many of the artists exhibited at the MCA, these poets take up critical issues in their work while propelling voices, stories, and thoughts under-seen and under-regarded in traditional canons.
ASL and CART captioning are provided.
