On April 29, 2026 at 6:30pm I'll be having a conversation with three artists I admire about the language we find ourselves returning to when we teach. I'll be talking with Elle Pérez, a photographer and educator who was a participant at Skowhegan's summer program back when I was faculty there; writer Rabih Alameddine, whose latest novel is, among other things, a meditation on teaching; and Juliette Mapp, a choreographer and dancer who's been teaching me to do something that resembles dance for the past two years. The event will be at Skowhegan's New York Office (136 W 22nd St). It's free, but please reserve a spot here.
