@jessisays Thanks for posting 🥰

Some look rationally, some at the event, some look nowhere in particular. / But here it’s less about the gaze, / more about the circular pink cheeks clapped by hands / not applauding, but astounded. / Ashamed by invasion. — Klara Du Plessis (@ToMakePoesis)

Tomorrow! Join us to celebrate the release of Chambersonic by Oana Avasilichioaei⁠, Conversations with the Kagawong River by sophie anne edwards⁠, cop city swagger by Mercedes Eng⁠, The Middle by Stephen Collis and⁠ No Signal No Noise by A Jamali Rad! ⁠

“Post-Mortem of the Event is a powerfully intelligent and insightful collection [...] It amply demonstrates the rigour and depth of thought animating Du Plessis's practice, and is simultaneously both a remarkable analysis and creative work”—Alan Reed
