Alba Mayol is currently developing the project Letters to the Desert, working with poetry, drawing and sculpture.
She is doing research on the desert as a starting point for questions about language, acts of reading and possibilities of writing – decryption and encryption, limbic resonance, vibration entanglements, colonial gaze, soft surfaces.
For this event, she is reading poems written during her residency at NAC. She is also sharing a number of theory texts orbiting around the project, including texts by Elizabeth A. Povinelli, Ariella Aïsha Azoulay, Anne Carson and Paulo Tavares.
