ABOUT: First Person Plural is an experimental conversation series intended to create a fertile and supportive space for the discussion of ideas important to our lives. Gathering together in an intimate environment, we seek to challenge and expand our understanding of the world through art, conversation and community. Each evening opens with provocations from artists, writers, scientists, and others, followed by an informal group discussion about the intersection of our theme and our presenters' work, and our own experience of the topic at hand.

First Person Plural is dedicated to centering creativity in the practice of addressing the issues that form, confound, and unleash our worlds. First Person Plural believes that the alchemy of the convened "we" has special resource and transformative power for both individual and communal transformation and that by looking at important, and sometimes difficult and risky, topics together, with honesty, curiosity, and generosity we may form more resilient bonds with each other.

First Person Plural meets monthly on the first Sunday of the month on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Our events are held in a private loft space - spacious but intimate. We provide wine and a light meal to our guests.

During our first season, 53 artists, scholars, and activists shared work for crowds ranging from 30-100 people. In Season 1, our themes were: Embodiment; Pleasure; Mourning; Rage, Loss, & Legibility in Queer Experience; Sound and the Literature of Amos Tutuola; Reduction: Materiality and Transformation; Borders, Belonging, and Citizenship; The Province of Women; Life After Prison; and Love and Freedom.
