Secrecy and Exposure: Poetry Event
Featuring: Fintan Calpin, Hasti, Donna Marcus Duke and D Mortimer.
Organised as part of the exhibition Inner Heat, by Laila Majid and Louis Blue Newby, this event features poets invited by the artists to respond to the ideas of secrecy and exposure which animate their works. The poets will perform texts within the exhibition space itself, activating new readings of the artworks.
