A reading and conversation with Nene Humphrey at the Catskill Art Space

  • Catskill Art Space 48 Main Street Livingston Manor United States (map)

Visual artist Nene Humphrey and poet Tom Sleigh have spent many years thinking about the biological and psychological aspects of how and why we dream. In collaboration with the LeDoux Neuroscience Lab, Humphrey has done extensive research into various theories of dreaming, and how we are hardwired to want to sing together. For Sleigh, too, dream and song are essential to his understanding of how poetry transforms our knowledge of the body and of our emotions into memorable speech. Through visual art and poetry, Humphrey and Sleigh will be in conversation about the inner workings of the psyche and its biological underpinnings.
