A collaborative table reading of Ways of Seeing, the influential essay by British writer John Berger, who died in January of this year. Originally broadcast on BBC television in 1972, Berger's text is a tool kit for deciphering the meaning and impact of images in media and art. A lineup of local artists, curators, and creative figures read the book in its entirety, celebrating Berger and his ever-relevant thinking.
