Inspired by a 1941 Jorge Luis Borges short story, artist Vicki Bennett's (People Like Us)The Library of Babel (2024) explores themes related to the complex interplay of infinity, knowledge, and the cosmic fabric, presented through the metaphor of a vast, seemingly infinite library. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Bennett and special guest Hearty White.
