About this Event
Facing the past with eyes wide open and what it means to grapple with historical truth at a time of war; a deeper look at Victoria Amelina's neighbourly essay.
Vol 3: MARCI SHORE in conversation with Karolina Koziura on academia, poetry and publishing in Ukraine — and what it means to look history in the face without blinking.
This is the opening of VOLUME 3 of the INSTITUT experiment. Every week, a different hypothesis. Underground at 620 Spadina Ave - around the back, through the lot to the steel doors, down the stairs, past the mechanical room, through the swinging wood laminate door...
Stick around — the night goes deep. Film at 7PM, live score at 9PM, vinyl til close. But RSVP even though it's PWYC so we know who to expect.
