Other Countries, Black Queer Expression, 2024 Winter Solstice Reading
What is the difference between a shitty review and a bad review? What modes of racialized and gendered apprehension and misapprehension constitute art criticism? What happens when artists refuse the critical appraisal of their work? This evening brings the artist Jeremy Toussaint-Baptiste and the art historian Rachel Hunter Himes together in pursuit of questions such as these. Hovering between a reading, a performance, and a conversation, the night will investigate what is at stake, both politically and formally, in critical writing and aesthetic evaluation.
This event will also be livestreamed for free on The Poetry Project's YouTube channel.
