POETRY READING: Thursday, September 22 @ 7:00pm⁠ ⁠ To mark the publication of Redolent (Singing Saw Press, 2022), Farid Matuk @farid_matuk is joined by Marwa Helal @iammarstian and Iris McCloughan @immcclou for a celebratory reading.⁠ ⁠ The result of a years-long collaboration, Redolent is a handmade, limited-edition artist book featuring poems by Farid Matuk and artwork by Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez @nancyfriedmansanchez The work draws on resonances across Friedemann-Sánchez’s and Matuk’s independent practices, in which each address the ever-developing legacy of colonization in the Americas, including through personal experiences of migration, Friedemann-Sánchez from Colombia and Matuk from Peru. The poems and images in Redolent build a vocabulary of beauty and violence, where lush flora and fauna are entangled with symbols of surveillance and militarization and where tender expressions of kinship brush against relations of patriarchy and nationhood. ⁠ ⁠ The reading is organized by Allyson Paty @trash_days and hosted by Wendy's Subway.
