Still from Jessye’s film in progress as part of her residency

Join us for our monthly Open House, where the objective is to create a space for informal encounters where new connections between our in-house team, the artist, our patrons, and the local community can develop.

This month, together with Ouyang and Jessye, we invite you to join us for a multilingual poetry reading circle. Ouyang will share a couple of poems from his book, Flag of Permanent Defeat, and then we want to hand the floor over to you to share a poem or two in English or any other language.

We'll also chat with Ouyang about his bilingual practice, writing in English and his Chinese mother tongue. We'd love to hear your perspectives about this, too. All levels and languages are welcome!

Press 'Join the guest list' to RSVP for planning purposes.

Note:—Admission is free, but drink purchases and donations are gratefully received as this income is used to continue doing our work - like more of these events!
