Hong Kong-born British poet Sarah Howe presents Six Windows, a reading and talk based around six new poems which provide alternative entry points into AAA's collection.

Drawing on materials from China, Japan, Hong Kong, the Philippines, and India, Howe considers how artists across different countries and cultures explore similar subject matter, and discusses how meditation on art writing resonates with her work and that of the Archive.

Six Windows also plays on the charged dynamic involved in responding to visual artwork verbally and in text. It points to how, as a poet or an art writer, verbal constructs refocus the way of seeing original works—like viewing them through a new lens or a window frame—clarifying some things, while obscuring others. Howe's poems also dwell on the metaphor of the browser by using "windows" in a digital context as her research has primarily been remote and web-enabled.
