The screening and poetry reading will take place in Menschel Hall, on the Lower Level of the Harvard Art Museums; doors to the hall will open for seating at 4:30pm.
The film will begin at 5pm and the poetry reading will begin at 7pm. The seating for the film will be open from 4:30 to 6pm. If you’d like to attend only the poetry reading, seating will re-open from 6:45 to 7pm sharp.

Additional information
The program will begin with a screening of the 2024 documentary Going to Mars: The Nikki Giovanni Project (HBO Documentary Films; English; 102 min.), which celebrates Giovanni’s life and work and looks at the revolutionary historical periods she’s lived through—from the civil rights movement to Black Lives Matter. The screening will be followed by a poetry reading by Giovanni. She will be introduced by award-winning poet and current poet laureate of San Francisco Tongo Eisen-Martin.
