SUMMARY:From Stage to Page with Katie Kitamura
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”RSVP Now” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fhost.nxt.blackbaud.com%2Fregistration-form%2F%3FformId%3D184a1ec0-05df-4b1a-847b-c7fc32601856%26envId%3Dp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g%26zone%3Deur|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]In Katie Kitamura’s taut\, hypnotic novel Audition\, an acclaimed actress is confronted by a young man who claims to be her son. Halfway through\, the narrative flips—upending what we think we know and unraveling competing stories about identity\, desire\, and performance.  \nKitamura probes the porous boundaries between artistic forms\, revealing how an actor’s craft can illuminate the shifting roles\, impulses\, and blind spots that shape a story. \nModerated by the Library’s Curator of Cultural Programs\, Rachel Donadio\, this conversation will explore how we construct\, inhabit\, and continually revise the selves we present to the world. \nAbout the speakers: \nKatie Kitamura’s most recent novel is Audition. A finalist for the Booker Prize\, it was one of Barack Obama’s 2025 Summer Reads. She is also the author of Intimacies\, one of the New York Times’ 10 Best Books of 2021 and one of Barack Obama’s favorite books of 2021.

SUMMARY:Between Paint and Print with Rachel Cusk and Megan Rooney
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_btn title=”Purchase Tickets” style=”custom” custom_background=”#9e0143″ custom_text=”#ffffff” size=”lg” align=”center” css=”” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fhost.nxt.blackbaud.com%2Fregistration-form%2F%3FformId%3D3a7303cb-32e6-436b-8f3b-fc43caa2d767%26envId%3Dp-Dm_SN_kaVE6HLULDUnPr0g%26zone%3Deur|target:_blank”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Writers and painters are both storytellers. Join two of today’s most vital artists — writer Rachel Cusk and visual artist Megan Rooney for a conversation across mediums and methods\, as the two explore how images and narratives take form and shape one another.  \nRooney will reflect on her process of creating characters for her paintings\, while Cusk will explore her process of questioning the limits of language and turning to image-making patterns in prose. What can be gained by bridging the gulf between words and images?  \nAbout the speakers: \nRachel Cusk is the author of Parade\, Second Place\, the Outline trilogy\, the memoirs A Life’s Work and Aftermath\, and several other works of fiction and nonfiction. She is a Guggenheim Fellow. She lives in Paris.  \nMegan Rooney is an enigmatic storyteller. Working across painting\, installation and performance\, she develops interwoven narratives within which the gestural body is a uniting thread. Her layered canvases—built through cycles of erasure and renewal—function as capsules of time and memory. Rooney’s work has been featured in solo museum exhibitions at Kettle’s Yard\, Cambridge; Salzburger Kunstverein\, Salzburg; Museum of Contemporary Art\, Toronto; and Kunsthalle Düsseldorf; in a two-person show with Joan Mitchell at the Espace Louis Vuitton\, Beijing; and in group shows at the Fondation Louis Vuitton\, Paris; Lyon Biennale; Palais de Tokyo\, Paris; and Venice Biennale.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]Important information: The discussion will be available and in person only. \nAttendance at this event constitutes permission for your photograph or video to be taken at the event and used by the American Library in Paris for marketing\, promotional\, pedagogical\, or other purposes.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
