RSVP

We are pleased to announce our latest installment of CAG Reads, a book club where artists invite us to read alongside them. Each month an artist proposes text for our collective reading pleasure, culminating in a virtual hangout where the artist leads a wide-ranging discussion grounded in their chosen reading material.

This month, CAG Reads will be hosted by Dana Qaddah. Dana has chosen to read a selection of poetry: From There by Etel Adnan, The House as Casualty by Mahmoud Darwish, and So drunk am I with the night, the air, and the trees by Mona Saudi.

Dana Qaddah (b. Beirut, Lebanon) is an interdisciplinary artist and organizer whose practice is contextualized by themes of building from, and through, colonial legacies, environmental and economic deterioration, and abstraction from one’s own sense of self and place.

Getting the texts

Access to all of Dana’s CAG Reads selections will be provided upon registration.
