Join us for Bletcher Hour, the Gallery’s monthly critical reading group. Readings explore key themes of the exhibitions and current events, with the intent to deepen our understanding of the artworks and their context within our community. 

This month we will be reading the introduction and first chapter of “Plastic Matter” by Heather Davis. In this book, Davis traces plastic’s haunting colonial legacies, proliferating environmental violences, and queer futurities, showing how plastic represents both the dreams and the horrors of Western modernity. This book is recommended by Dana Buzzee, who's exhibition Incidental Omens is on display in our Lower Gallery until Jan. 11, 2025.

This program is free to attend. Please contact Heather Kehoe, Program & Event Coordinator, to register. Readings are sent as PDFs in advance of the event. If you cannot make it in person, online attendance options are available.
