Experience a powerful night of live readings by the Nebraska Writers Collective, inspired by Under The Skin. Through poetry and personal reflections, these original pieces explore the human body as a source of emotion and storytelling. Whether you’re a longtime art lover or simply curious, this evening invites you to listen, reflect, and connect. Come for the art, stay for the stories, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the human experience.
This event features Nebraska writer Shukura Huggins.
Please be advised that the Under the Skin exhibition contains depictions of full/partial nudity and mature themes. Parents and guardians are encouraged to preview and assess the content to decide if it aligns with what they deem appropriate for their children.
