Poetry Reading in the Village

Please join us for an evening of poetry at 148 West 4th Street. Visit the pop-up installation Los Corassones Avlan. This imaginary monologue on memory and history revisits the encounters and clashes between the Ottoman and European worlds as seen through the eyes of young women from the tiny Jewish minority of Rhodes who, at the time, were in their teens and twenties.

Taking inspiration from the women in Rhodes who, on Saturday night after the Havdala, gathered with neighbors to sing and tell stories, we have invited friends to read their favorite poems. Please come hear them and enjoy tea and sweets.

We look forward to seeing you!
