Additional information

Join Liz Lerman and Paloma McGregor for a screening of short films documenting aspects of their work-in-progress dance-based public art project My Body is a Library. The project centers libraries as places of refuge, research, and medicine, and wonders how our bodies also hold knowledge, stories, and even the law. This iteration, in partnership with the Harvard Law Library, plays with memory, rules, and dislocation, including how books move. The evening includes performative moments and conversation with Martha Minow, the 300th Anniversary University Professor at Harvard University.
