Unfinished Conversations: A Poetry Reading

PopRally presents a poetry reading and reception celebrating Unfinished Conversations: New Work from the Collection, an exhibition of recent contemporary acquisitions focused on intertwining themes of social protest, the effect of history on the formation of identity, and how art juxtaposes fact and fiction. Together, the artists in this exhibition look back to traditions both within and beyond the visual arts to imagine possibilities for an uncertain future.

Taking up the conversations prompted by the exhibition, five exciting, New York–based poets will read new and recent poems that consider race, gender, and sexual identities in relation to the state; intimacy under upheaval; and writing through and against spectacle, among other topics.

Featuring readings by:

Marwa Helal

Morgan Parker

Lytton Smith

Christopher Soto

Wendy Xu

Tickets ($20) are available online.

Admission includes poetry readings, open bar, and access to the exhibition.

You must be 21 or older to attend this event.
