🗂️ MINING THE PERSONAL ARCHIVES with Leah Pellegrini: In order to write memoir, we’re often tasked with revisiting the past. What to do, then, when memory is spotty? This workshop will offer specific techniques for recovering the details of our prior lives.

We’re thrilled to welcome Patrick Rosal as the Guggenheim’s 2026 Poet-in-Residence! 🎉

Now in its fifth year, the residency continues the institution’s tradition of exploring abstraction in the visual arts and nurturing a vibrant history of poetry programming.

Rosal’s work investigates how poetry can reconnect us—to the earth, to one another, and to attentiveness in times that challenge both. Throughout his residency, programming under The Water Listeners will honor water as a living presence, sensory element, and sacred resource, a conduit for gathering, reflection, and exchange.
