PassaPorta Artist Residency Presentation
Monday, August 21 at 8:00 pm
Come to a free presentation with PassaPorta artists Sabien Clement, Mieke Versyp and Adriana E. Ramírez. In 2011, City of Asylum began an exchange partnership with the renowned Belgian literary organization Het Beschrijf at Passa Porta. Passa Porta chooses a Belgian writer for a residency on Sampsonia Way, and City of Asylum sponsors a Pittsburgh writer who is awarded a reciprocal one-month residency in Brussels. For this reading on August 21, all artists will present their work and discuss their residency experiences.
