Franklin & Marshall Writers House will be hosting a panel discussion and publication party for Intersection, a book of essays about sidewalk life and culture edited by the poet (and F&M adjunct instructor) Marci Nelligan on Thursday, April 2, at 4:30 pm.

As part of the celebration, from 11 am to 2 pm that day the performance artist William Pope.L will do a piece at the College called “The Black Factory: The Storage Room.”

William Pope.L is a nationally recognized performance artist who has become known for both The Black Factory and his “crawls,” public pieces in which he leads a group of people in a crawl down a populated city street. Through ingenious and unorthodox methods, he challenges our assumptions about race, class, art, culture, and a whole host of other things. His performance at F&M is brand new, but is based on the work he’s done for The Black Factory Tour.
