The Contemporary Jewish Museum presents Snapshot Poetics Now: Queer Encounters with Allen Ginsberg

Inspired by Allen Ginsberg’s collection of inscribed snapshots on view in the exhibition Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg, Bay Area artists and scholars will create a unique performance-based tour of the gallery.
