“Pre-Texts” Workshop Led By Harvard Professor Doris Sommer and Director of NYU Drama Therapy Program Nisha Sajnani Featuring An Appearance From Fuzzy Friends at LIC Feral Feeders!

Come explore the Materials for the Arts warehouse! We’re excited to host a Pre-Texts tour by Doris Sommer, Director of the Cultural Agents Initiative at Harvard University, and Nisha Sajnani, Director of NYU Drama Therapy Program. Participants will read a text aloud and then explore the warehouse to find objects that help them reflect deeper inspiration from the reading. 📚 Sommer’s academic and outreach work promotes development through arts and humanities, specifically through “Pre-Texts” in Boston Public Schools, throughout Latin America, and beyond. Pre-Texts is an arts-based training program for teachers of literacy, critical thinking, and citizenship.

The night will also highlight some furry friends from LIC Feral Feeders, a 501c3 organization dedicated to rescuing cats, doing Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and feeding kitties in Long Island City! Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about how to get involved with the organization and even adopt a kitten. 🐱💗

This programming is FREE and open to the public. 🙌🎉🥳
