Across cultural and political fronts and with extraordinary aesthetic ambition, Juliana Huxtable and Mohammed El-Kurd each have a singular gift for bringing people together with shared purpose. Both committed, radical thinkers of form, Huxtable and El-Kurd exert maximalist pressure on the given, on what’s there and could be made otherwise. In their relentless tears across genre and medium, with deft swerves into humor or towards the sublime, each enables people to make use of an outrageous and fiercely defiant language, to think about what’s going on at greater scale in order to change it more effectively. Please join us for an evening of poetry and performance celebrating their work.

Guest introductions by Morgan Bassichis and Frankie Hutchinson

This event will also be livestreamed for free on the Project’s YouTube channel.
