Join us for an evening of poetry and art!

In conjunction with the exhibition Cities and Memory, Fenwick Gallery and Mason Exhibitions will host a poetry reading and discussion of ekphrasis, considering the relationships between the verbal and visual arts. Cities and Memory features the visionary architectural drawings of James Rossant, paired with poetry from his daughter, Juliette Rossant.
