BFF Poetry Reading

Join us for a poetry reading as part of our new BFF Reading Series! As a friendship-centered gallery, we started this reading series with the aim to not only bring together poets and writers we know in love with others in our community, but to also ask them the question: who are other poets that inspire you? In the spirit of friendship, we asked each participating poet to invite another poet in their community--whether it be a friend, partner, or long-time admirer.

Join us in hearing poetry by Luz Magdaleno Flores, Darshita Jain, and two other poets they know and love!

Opening Reception: A thread through a past life

What memories are held within material? Silk from your mother’s favorite dress, a sleeve from a childhood sweater, thread left over from your aunt’s homemade quilt. Whether handmade or store bought, clothing is embedded with our history. In the work of Udita Upadhyaya and Nina Littrell, this history is dissected, examined, rearranged, and sewn together. By using fabric materials that literally and conceptually reference their past, each artist confronts their own histories and memories, stitching them together to create something new–something that is both part of them and outside of them; a quilted mosaic of their identities.
