Discover Shannon Pulusan
December 6 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm EST
Join us in Discovering Artist Shannon Pulusan as she reads her incredible poetry inside the John Chamberlain exhibition at Mana Contemporary as part of the Jersey City Reads Poems program at the Monira Foundation.
This dynamic poetry series, part of the Discovering Program at Monira Foundation, amplifies marginalized voices within Jersey City. In this special event, poets Sara Munjack, Sam Circle, Idris, and Shannon Pulusan present original works inspired by the iconic installations of artists Dan Flavin, Arnulf Rainer, Andy Warhol, and John Chamberlain. Through ekphrastic poetry, they explore the powerful intersections of art and language, creating a rich dialogue between visual and verbal expression.

She has received support from ARTS by the People, Bread Loaf Environmental Writers’ Conference, and Brooklyn Poets and holds an MFA in Poetry from Rutgers University-Newark.
