This special edition of Writing Club is a collaboration between Wendy’s Subway and MoMA. The series consists of two sessions, once in MoMA’s galleries and once online via Zoom. Please register for the session that is most comfortable for you.
Zoe Imani Sharpe facilitates this Writing Club focusing on artworks on view in the exhibition Gallery 215: Refractions. Inspired by Sharpe’s practice and debut poetry collection Figure Eight (2026) published by Wendy’s Subway, we’ll experiment with writing as a means of exploring connections between scale, bodily movement and spatial regulation within broader social and political contexts. This session will take place in person at MoMA.
Zoe Imani Sharpe is a poet and artist working across language, moving image, reciprocal forms of education, and collaborative projects. Her recent poetry and essays on art can be found in C Magazine, The Capilano Review, YYZ Artists’ Outlet, and elsewhere. Her social practice work has been supported by Gallery TPW, Whippersnapper Gallery and Triptych Curatorial Collective, among other artist-led organizations. Based in Tkaronto (Toronto), Canada, her first book is Figure Eight (Wendy’s Subway, 2026).
Wendy’s Subway is a reading room, writing space, and independent publisher in Bushwick, Brooklyn. It supports emerging artists and writers in making experimental, urgent work and creates alternative modes for learning and thinking in community. Wendy’s Subway is dedicated to encouraging creative, critical, and discursive engagement with arts and literature.
