“Northwestern University and Professor Rachel Jamison Webster invite you to: “More Light – Art Against Hate: A Conversation with Grzegorz Kwiatkowski.”
Join us for a reading and conversation with Polish poet and post-rock musician Grzegorz Kwiatkowski, this year’s Yale artist in residence at the Fortunoff Archive, whose art serves as an artistic response to history, violence, and the rise of right-wing nationalism.
Grzegorz Kwiatkowski is the author of several books of poetry exploring themes of history, remembrance, and ethics. His work has been featured and discussed in The New York Times, The Guardian, Los Angeles Times, Genocide Studies and Prevention, Modern Poetry in Translation, World Literature Today, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, BBC, and NPR, among others.
He is a member of the art rock band Trupa Trupa, released internationally by Sub Pop, Glitterbeat, and Ici d’Ailleurs, and the band has recorded sessions for NPR’s Tiny Desk and BBC Radio 6.
Kwiatkowski has been a guest lecturer at numerous universities, including Stanford, Yale, UC Berkeley, UCLA, New York University, Columbia, the University of Chicago, American University, and the Jewish Theological Seminary. He has participated in major literary festivals such as the Oslo Internasjonale Poesifestival and the Lahti International Writers Reunion, and has held residencies in Vienna, Graz, and Washington, D.C.During our event, Kwiatkowski will read poems from his American book “Crops”, as well as from his forthcoming manuscript “Without an Orchestra” and new poems created during his Yale residency at the Fortunoff Archive, all translated by Peter Constantine. He will also speak about his activism and his efforts to preserve the shoes of victims found near the former Stutthof concentration camp.”
