A Worthy Mirror Roundtable

Moderated by poet and critic danilo machado

FEBRUARY 7, 2024 // Zoom (National Sawdust) @ 6:00 pm // Brooklyn, NY

Join us on February 7th at 6pm for an online ROUNDTABLE discussion with the composers of A WORTHY MIRROR, a commissioning project from Alkemie that puts 12th-century poet-composers in conversation with their modern counterparts. Moderated by poet and critic danilo machado, this roundtable will explore how A WORTHY MIRROR translates lyric poetry into new compositions, forefronts female and anonymous femme voices in medieval canon, and reflects upon themes of gender, self, and relationships across time.

Presented by National Sawdust’s MOTIF, a digital-first platform of arts, innovation, and ideas presented by National Sawdust to engage the arts through a filter of human rights, access, participation, and equity.

This roundtable is being video recorded and will be publicly available afterwards to those who register.
