For The Public: What's Wonderland? New Poetry and Spoken Word Performances inspired by Alice in Wonderland

FOR THE PUBLIC is a FREE collaborative art series featuring some of the city's most prominent young creatives. Once a month, NYPL-sponsored spaces will house performance and visual displays that explore the power of storytelling, comment on community, and highlight the many different narratives that make NYC the creative capital of the world. 

SPECIAL EDITION: What's Wonderland? 

Since the Alice stories were first published in the late 19th century, the imaginative characters and absurd scenes of Lewis Carroll’s underground world have inspired artists of all types. Join us for a distinctly 21st century take on a journey to Wonderland. With words, music, and images, celebrated NYC poets and spoken word artists Miles Hodges and Alysia Harris relate, rearrange, and reinterpret the classic Carroll stories, and answer for a new generation - “What’s Wonderland?"
