About RUPI KAUR: UNCUT – A RESIDENCY
Now at Union Hall, **RUPI KAUR: UNCUT – A RESIDENCY** brings the Indian-Canadian poet, illustrator, photographer, and author into a small-room New York setting. Kaur has performed since 2009 and became widely known through Instagram, alongside three published poetry collections. The residency foregrounds spoken delivery and the shifting boundary between page work and live presence, with humor used as a pressure valve rather than a punchline engine. In a city saturated with readings, it quietly tests what intimacy and scale can still do.
