Join us for a special screening of the 2025 documentary Nova ’78, that chronicles the 1978 Nova Convention centered on William S. Burroughs and New York’s downtown avant-garde. After the screening, artist Julia Heyward performs her electronic-vocal monologue from the now-legendary event. Heyward then joins director Aaron Brookner for a Q&A about the convention, the recovered archive, and bringing Nova ’78 to the screen.
