Monday
Recent events in the Middle East prompt us to revise our program. On Monday, January 31, Joshua Clover will talk with Emna Zghal about developing events in the Arab world. We very much look forward to their conversation.
Joshua Clover is a poet and political organizer. He mostly teaches for a living. This year he is a Fellow at the Society for the Humanities at Cornell University, studying poetics and political economy.
Emna Zghal is a Tunisian-born U.S. based visual artist. Besides her work in painting and printmaking, Zghal works with text using poetry and prose in various languages. Her paintings and artist’s books are represented in public collections like the New York Public Library, Yale University, The Museum For African Art in New York.
Emna Zghal is a fantastic artist and thinker, whose work I have been following for almost a decade. I very much look forward to hearing her perspectives on the paradigm shifts happening now in Tunisia and Egypt and throughout the Muslim world. Thank you for putting together this evening to help us all understand more clearly the effect of the “tunisami”.
I will be coming with at least one other person, maybe two. I am a teacher at ICP (International Center of Photography) and will alert my students to this event also.
