Inspired by the exhibition Elana Herzog: Ripped, Tangled, and Frayed, this special evening features poets Brenda Coultas and Eleni Sikelianos reading works that explore themes of memory, repair, threads, and connection. The event celebrates Herzog’s collaborative project Animal Bodies and brings together two acclaimed writers whose work reflects many of the ideas explored in the exhibition.
