Inside Weather: Writing and Art

Join us Saturday evening from your room, where the following writers and artists will Zoom-share work that in some way contemplates the rooms and roomlessness of these times. This is the first in a series of three opportunities to create community and correspondence during these weeks of isolation. The events also partially act as launch readings for Mattraw’s We fell into weather (March, Cultural Society). Mattraw’s second book explores invisible disabilities and their catalysts– environmental toxins, illness, and epigenetics, among others– while considering what’s outside those rooms.

11 April, Saturday, 7 pm PST

The writers and artists will present in a “round” formation instead of the patterns we find in a traditional reading. Each feature will offer approximately three minutes of work and then “pass the mic” to the next feature in a repeated, circular pattern.
