Sunday Read #6 with Index Teen Advisory Board

Sunday Read is a monthly gathering for anyone aged 16–21 who wants to read, think, and talk about contemporary art together.

The previous sessions have been a close reading of Johnny Chang & Louise Nassiri, “Floating in the White Sea: A Foray Into the Contemporary Art Institution” (2018), Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Carrier Bag Theory of Fiction” (1986), Susan Sontag, “On Plato’s Cave”, Hito Steyerl, “In Defense of the Poor Image” (2011), and Kathy Acker, “Against Ordinary Language: The Language of the Body” (1993).

For the next session, Sunday, 23 November, 1 pm–3 pm, Audre Lorde’s “Poetry Is Not a Luxury” (1977) and “The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action” (1978) will be read and discussed.

Sunday Read is a place for shared exploration. Each time, different types of texts related to art are introduced; poems, short stories, texts written by artists, exhibition texts or art theory. Do you know someone who you think would be interested? Invite them!
