How to Hold A Book: A Guided Meditation with Anisha Baid
This 30 minute group meditation will reflect on reading as a bodily experience, moving one’s attention from the physical reality of the book to an interior space where the book and the self collide.
*Please come wearing something comfortable and be prepared to sit on the floor.
Sunday July 28, 4-7pm
Living Scripts and Moving (Per)Form-ances: An Embodied Research Workshop with Ariel Xiu
This Embodied Research session invites those interested in exploring different notions of “reading” and “writing” through the body. Made up of unequal parts mining the Read-Shifting Web library, games, exercises, witnessing, improvising, and facilitated discussion, we will engage with the creative processes of making body/movement-based performance and its potential to highlight (pre) existing scripts encoded within and around us.
*All backgrounds/levels of experience are welcome, but be prepared to move and let your body do the talking.
Friday August 2, 7pm
Read-Listening Web: A Live Sound Collage with Iris Kang
Next First Friday, come enjoy an ambient sound set you can read to (and into) with sounds coming from books, readers, and the room.
Sunday August 4, 2-4pm
Words Removed from their Homes: A Text Collage Workshop with Brent Nakamoto.
In this workshop Brent Nakamoto will teach you how to use your words. Using the books in the reading room as source material, we will be creating collages of found text and image.
*Please bring a short text (one to three sentences) — either your own words or another writer's words. Together we will search the reading room for the words we need to re-create our texts and re-assemble them with the help of a printer/scanner, scissors, and a little glue.

Read-Shifting Web
On view July 11th to August 4th
Reading Hours: Friday - Sunday 12pm - 4pm
Opening: July 11th, 6pm - 9pm
What happens when we rethink the book as a standard literary vehicle? When we rethink with the book toward other modes of reading and relation? 𝑹𝑬𝑨𝑫-𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑭𝑻𝑰𝑵𝑮 𝑾𝑬𝑩 is a communal reading room and literary art exhibition, featuring books borrowed from the personal libraries of local Asian/American artists and organizers.
As readers, Jenna Peng and Elina Zhang are interested in books: books as maps, books as extensions of the body, books as proof and proofs, books as a place to zone out, get some errant thinking done, books as where I gather myself, beside myself, books as reading rooms, in and of themselves, books as read-shifting, out and off themselves.
As curators, we are interested in shifting our attention from writing to reading, from reading between the lines to reading between friends. How do we attend to the way your reading shifts my reading shifts what is being read? How can we read the page’s diffusion, all that happens before and beyond it, and the page’s suffusion, with all this extra-literary company? A gathering of ways of reading and being-read, this show is a reading room of our own.
