La Galleria | Bilennials: Coletti and Quint
A Free Reading Event
Bilennials grew up in the pre-digital world and adapted to 21st century technology as adults. Their art is the offspring of the cultural identities of both millennia. The Bilennials play reading event presented by La Mama Galleria features a pair of writers selected to compliment the current art exhibition which serves as the backdrop for the event.
John Coletti (West-coast native) and Arlo Quint (son of Maine) are new New York poets who allied themselves to the city and the new millennium all at once. Cubists of code, join us for an evening of their modern verse.
