Join Kameelah Janan Rasheed for a two-part workshop on close reading, in conjunction with her installation Kameelah Janan Rasheed: Are We Reading Closely?—on view November 11. In the first session, on November 19, Rasheed presents an artist lecture that gives a “close reading of close reading.” The second session, on December 17, expands the practice of close reading into a communal exercise as participants work together to dissect short texts, pieces of media, and current events.
Each session is limited and registration is required. Registration is $25 for both sessions, or $15 for a single session. A Zoom link will be sent by email.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?
Henry David Thoreau, Walden (via philosophybits)
It really felt like rediscovering the fragments. So, that’s my advice. Just write the fragment. Make that fragment as whole as you can, because, guess what? It’s going to open the door to another one, and another one, and another one.
