"History Keeps Me Awake at Night" Film Screening and Reading
P.P.O.W.
This event has ended.
In connection with the exhibition, P.P.O.W. will host a reading by writers that count David Wojnarowicz and his coterie among their influences. Wojnarowicz’s work emerged from a city that seems to no longer exist, exhibiting an urgency of response that has all but dissipated. Having never known him, these readers look to Wojnarowicz’s work as a model of political fury, might see him as an emissary from another place and time. Doubling as bloggers, educators, performers, curators, and students, they chart different courses through a wildly different climate. There may be a genealogy of David Wojnarowicz, but it is all too queer—one where, in Wojnarowicz’s words, “conception’s just a shot in the dark.”
Film Screening: 6.30pm. Reading by Zachary German, Amy King, Sara Marcus and Max Steele: 7pm.
