Poetry is often encountered quietly on the page. Yet it first existed in the spoken word, shared through voice, gesture and gathering. Perhaps this is where it feels most alive, not as something to decipher, but as something to experience together.

We are pleased to welcome Kurt David Peterson to Aa Furniture for an evening of readings, performance and conversation centred around his publication, A Wild Dog, His Solemn Vow, and Then Some. Through poetry, sound and improvisation, Kurt’s practice explores mythology, memory and the overlooked qualities of everyday life, with each performance shaped by the space and the people within it.

Originally from Nebraska, USA, and based in Indonesia since 2017, Kurt is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice moves fluidly between writing, performance, sound, field recording and visual art. His work draws upon mythology, religion, memory, folklore and perception, often responding directly to the places in which it unfolds. Improvisation and participation are central to his approach, ensuring that no two performances are ever quite the same.

Seats are limited. Each ticket includes a signed limited-edition print created exclusively for the event. His publication is also available for purchase on our webstore.

We look forward to sharing an evening where poetry is heard, performed and experienced together.

Early bird pricing ends on 13 July 2026, 11:59pm SGT.
