Birds. Quiet birds. Loud birds. Birds that never existed. Birds heard by Tiresias, Greek bird-interpreter par excellence. Birds that mimic people. People that mimic birds. From the falcon-headed deity Horus to phoenixes rising from the ashes––humans are bound to the bird. We’re teaming up with BirdNote for an evening of all things ornithological. Live Q&A TBD. **All streaming shows start at 6PM Pacific Time.
