The conversation will focus on the embodied experiences produced through interaction with Soft Services’ stone sculptures, and examine how acts of noticing open the door for new engagements with social and environmental landscapes. The dialogue will be punctuated by readings from Sycamore’s genre-bending book The Freezer Door (2020), portions of which are set in Volunteer Park.
