Red Room Poetry and The Art Gallery of New South Wales invite you to explore the intersection of night and day with this Art After Hours poetry performance in association with the exhibition Louise Bourgeois: Has the Day Invaded the Night or Has the Night Invaded the Day?, currently on display at the Art Gallery.

Hear poems that were created during a series of workshops held in January at the Art Gallery, in which participants responded to the themes in Bourgeois's artworks.

During the evening, there will be readings by poets Sara Mansour and Lucy Norton, who led the workshops, as well as readings by some of the workshop participants.
