Sanctuary Series

Text on a Tangent

Sunday
November 12, 2017

2:30 - 4:30 pm

Sometimes playful, sometimes contemplative, this experimental series invites you to experience the Gardner Museum in unexpected ways. Doris Sommer, Founder of the NGO Cultural Agents and Harvard University’s Ira Jewell Williams, Jr., Professor of Romance Languages and Literatures and African American Studies, will lead us on a creative exploration, using a piece of text by Henry James as a catalyst for making art. Together, we will read closely, ask questions, go off on tangents, and make the text our own.
