#About the event
Duration: 60 minutes
The glee of experimentation is gloriously showcased in these books, whose writers consider the meaning of life by de-centering the human perspective. Whether floating in space or flowing with the cycles of nature, these works invite us to consider our place in the cosmos.
Venue update: please note this event will now be held in Auditorium 2.
