Terry Allen & Jo Harvey Allen

  • This is a past program

Terry Allen and Jo Harvey Allen hold a conversation interspersed with readings and music excerpts from Terry’s music recordings, radio shows, and theater works. A singer-songwriter whose oeuvre Rolling Stone described as "uniformly eccentric and uncompromising, savage and beautiful, literate and guttural,” Terry is also a regarded artist whose connections to the art world run deep. Jo Harvey is a writer, artist, and actress best known for her work in film and for her one-woman plays. Moderated by Hammer curator Aram Moshayedi.

All Hammer public programs are free and made possible by a major gift from an anonymous donor.

Generous support is also provided by Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy, Good Works Foundation and Laura Donnelley, The Samuel Goldwyn Foundation, an anonymous donor, and all Hammer members.

Public programs advancing social justice are presented by the Ford Foundation.

Digital presentation of Hammer public programs is made possible by the Billy and Audrey L. Wilder Foundation.
