Ladies Who Lit Book Club: I Who Have Never Known Men March 26 & 28

Ladies Who Lit, a Chicago-based book club and literary community, is hosting two member discussion events at the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art in conjunction with our current exhibition, It Will Destroy You.

Their March pick, I Who Have Never Known Men by Jacqueline Harpman, is a haunting speculative novel that pairs beautifully with the themes at the heart of the exhibition. Curated by Isaiah Lee and Samiah Fulcher, It Will Destroy Youbrings together painting, sculpture, installation, and video to explore self-preservation and reconciliation amid what the curators describe as a "crumbling socio-political landscape built on violence, greed, corruption, and brutality." Harpman's novel, a story of survival, memory, and the collapse of the world as we know it, makes for a resonant companion to this work.

Discussions will be held on March 26 and March 28. With two date options available this month, drop-ins are welcome! Tickets are available to both Ladies Who Lit members and the general public. Visit ladieswholit.com to RSVP here or purchase a ticket.

March 26, 6 - 8 pm 
March 28, 10 am - 12 pm
