Join us in Brooklyn for a public reading on the occasion of Alex Strada’s “Public Address” on Monday, June 8, from 6–7:30 pm. This program takes place inside the project’s main installation at Columbus Park, and is in partnership with the Brooklyn Public Library.

Guest readers are artist Pablo Helguera, community organizer and educator Rob Robinson, Arash Diba of @vocalnewyork, advocate Maria Ponce Sevilla, author Samuel Stein, scholar Alexandra Délano Alonso, Eva Raison, Director of Brooklyn Public Library's Outreach Services, and architect Nandini Bagchee. The readings will be accompanied by an artist-led walkthrough of the installation.

The artworks in Public Address—handwritten and drawn accounts printed as aluminum city street signs—were created by people living and working within New York City's shelter system through log writing workshops. Written to be encountered and responded to, these anonymous entries are addressed to the NYC public, inviting reflection and collective attention.
