David Biespiel in Conversation With April Baer
February 18, 2019 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeDavid Biespiel’s Republic Café (University of Washington) is a meditation on love during a time of violence, and a tally of what appears and disappears in every moment. Mindful of epigenetic experience as our bodies become living vessels for history’s tragedies, Biespiel praises not only the essentialness of our human memory, but also the sanctity of our flawed, human forgetting. Republic Café details the experience of lovers in Portland, Oregon, on the eve and days following September 11, 2001. Biespiel will be joined in conversation by April Baer, host of OPB’s State of Wonder.
