Poems are kisses, fists, and underground rivers. For all these reasons and many more, I am a poet.
Paul Sharits is one of our all time heroes, and one of the great artist filmmakers of the 20th Century.
Seven women recite monologues composed from texts from the vibrant years of the Weimar Republic. A kind of cultural echo: an experience of histories brought to the present.
A collaborative duo performance, Anoyonodekigoto sets up a sort of negotiation between a musician, a dancer, the audience and the space we’re all sharing.
An open conversation hosted by Saidiya Hartman and Fred Moten around ‘fugitivity’ and ‘waywardness’ and what it means to be in flight, excessive or ungovernable.

A film performance about Guy then, and Guy now, as a metaphor for the passing of time, which of course all film is inherently about.
