How do we translate war, loss, the rituals of there to here without erasures? Muradi and Rivera invite us to play, reckon, chew on concepts as if they were ice cream, delve the epics of our present even as they update the terms and subjects. We find here: confluences of pasts \u0026amp; presents, interrogations \u0026amp; chants, braidings of thresholds we may enter but not necessarily contain, home \u0026amp; shadows of home – and when we are, a grace of shadows as home.\r\n\r\nHealing Futures, curated by Purvi Shah, is a series of three readings featuring six writers in collaboration with with six artists. Each event presents the poetry of two writers around the theme of Healing Futures and unveils two new limited edition broadsides. The poet\/artist collaboration explores the relationship of text, image, and design, incorporating the artists’ visual conveyance of writers’ poetry and prose in broadside form. This event is hosted by Purvi Shah with readings by Sahar Muradi and Eléna Rivera.\r\n\r\nSahar's broadside \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/book-shop\/poetry\/broadside\/washee-was-she\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWashee\/was she\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e was designed \u0026amp; printed by Rhonda Khalifeh, and Eléna's broadside \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/book-shop\/poetry\/broadside\/september\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSeptember\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e was designed \u0026amp; printed by Oswaldo García.\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis event is funded in part by Poets \u0026amp; Writers through public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Center for Book Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45060008083612,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3861\/files\/0526a7f1-Broadside-2021-2.jpg?v=1751391910","url":"https:\/\/shop.centerforbookarts.org\/products\/healing-futures-weaving-thresholds","provider":"Center for Book Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
