PAPERCUTS PRESENTS: Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore

Join us on Sunday, January 28th to welcome Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore back into the space to celebrate the release of her latest book,&nbsp;Touching the Art. ﻿Touching the Art&nbsp;is part memoir and part lyric essay touching on her relationship with her late grandmother, intergenerational trauma, visual art, and the intersection of all these topics within the larger world. A gorgeous collage of writing, Sycamore's writing is dynamic and expansive. You don't want to miss this event! “Sycamore creates a mosaic of art and humanity, flaws and all.” —Sarah Neilson,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.seattletimes.com/entertainment/books/mattilda-bernstein-sycamores-new-memoir-explores-familial-artistic-legacy/" target="_blank">The Seattle Times</a> “[Touching the Art]&nbsp;blurs the lines of genre convention and polyvocality by assembling a multivoiced collage of texture, feeling, and evidence . . . Sycamore paints with language, using it as a device to translate her grandmother’s canvases into multisensory descriptions that branch off into various sites of memory, analysis, and juxtaposed quotations, modeling how inseparable art and life are . . . [Touching the Art] asks us to place our hand and tongue directly on the painting, to know that it becomes ours through this contact, and that both we and the artwork will be changed by our touch.” —Sam Sax,<a href="https://www.thebeliever.net/a-review-of-touching-the-art/" target="_blank">&nbsp;The Believer</a> Mattilda Bernstein Sycamore is the author of&nbsp;The Freezer Door, a New York Times Editors’ Choice, one of Oprah Magazine’s Best LGBTQ Books of 2020, and a finalist for the PEN/Jean Stein Book Award. She’s the author of three novels and three nonfiction titles, and the editor of six nonfiction anthologies, most recently&nbsp;Between Certain Death and a Possible Future: Queer Writing on Growing Up with the AIDS Crisis. We are beyond excited for this event! We hope to see you there. Free and open to all! Seating is limited.
