About this event
Join us for a special three-part book club exploring the poetry of Joy Harjo in conversation with the art of Athena LaTocha, co-hosted by Jones Library and the University Museum of Contemporary Art.
We'll begin with a guided tour and discussion of LaTocha's exhibition Buried Heat at the museum, featuring large sculptures and works on paper responding to the land. Together, we'll read selected key poems by Harjo that connect to the work on view. The next two sessions will meet at UMass Downtown, where we'll dive deeper into Harjo's poetry, reflect on LaToch a's practice, and explore both artists' powerful connections to land\\ , time, memory, mourning, and renewal.
