The Rail has a tradition of ending our conversations with a poetry reading, and we’re fortunate to have Miko Revereza reading.
Miko Revereza
Miko Revereza is an experimental documentary filmmaker and writer. His work examines migration in relation to moving images, interrogating documentation in how they relate to nationhood and documentary. “How does an undocumented documentary filmmaker document themself?” is a central question investigated through his moving images. His works have been exhibited at institutions such as MoMA, The Smithsonian, National Gallery of Art, and Whitechapel Gallery. Revereza was a 2019 Flaherty Seminar featured filmmaker, 2021 Vilcek Prize Winner, recent recipient of Wendy’s Subway Open Reading Period Book Prize and holds an MFA from Bard College.
