There will be readings. There will be ranting. There will be ruminations. We’re very excited to announce our first ever (free) event at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in Soho — come join us next Tuesday, June 23, for Hyperallergic IRL.
Our lineup for the evening is fantastic. We’ll have a poetry reading from Hyperallergic Weekend Editor John Yau; contributors Marisa Crawford and Ryan Wong will read pieces that are among our favorites from the blogazine from the past year; staff writer Allison Meier will share a story on art and cemeteries; plus appearances by many of the members of our Hyperallergic team: Thomas Micchelli, Hrag Vartanian, Jillian Steinhauer, Benjamin Sutton, Tiernan Morgan, and Elisa Wouk Almino.
This is not, however, your average reading. We’re planning a round of art trivia, dramatic reenactments of some of our favorite comments-section flame wars, and a fireside (figuratively) chat about how to be a consistent critic at a time when the cultural landscape is so vast that a single exhibition can take over an entire town.
We might also throw in a surprise or two.
Here’s all the info you need to know:
Tuesday, June 23, 7pm
