Adrian Piper Reading Group

December 2, 9 and 16, 2018

The discussions will begin at 4 p.m. in the Hammer Lab.  Please note that all three sessions will focus on Piper's essays and on chapters from her memoir Escape to Berlin: A Travel Memoir. All readings are available in the exhibition reading room in Gallery 2.
