There's A Lot To Unpack Here
There’s A Lot To Unpack Here
There’s A Lot to Unpack Here is a poetry and storytelling series that breaks the cardinal rule of art – actually explaining what is going on in a piece. It is an evening that invites poets, patrons of the art, and those who have said “I don’t understand what any of this means” alike to a space that facilitates sharing original work and the education of poetics through interviewing its readers before a live audience.
Produced with The Poetry Society of New York. Donations are encouraged but not required. For more information, visit @taltuhpoetry on Instagram!

WHAT IS THE CITY RELIQUARY?
Reliquaries typically house the ostensible bones of dead saints. We house the bones of New York City. Seltzer bottles to schist cores, roller skates from racially integrated rinks, and a burnt out lightbulb from the Statue of Liberty's torch are just a few examples of our exciting collection.
We use this space to breathe new life into New York city, with not only our incredible collection of interactive historical exhibits, but continuous and stimulating programming, arts, and events.
WHY MEMBERSHIP?
Membership gives you FREE ACCESS to all upcoming events, museum entry with a plus one on all open days, and the unique opportunity to be a part of a thriving creative community. You can become a member for $10/month at cityreliquary.org/join.
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
The City Reliquary values the individual diversity of every member of our community. Differences in age, race, ethnic heritage, religion, appearance, gender, sexual orientation, or any number of characteristics provide experiences, viewpoints, and ideas that strengthen and enrich our mission.
We are committed to creating an environment that is safe, inclusive, respectful, and equitable, and to include and uplift people with different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to create a safe and inspiring space.
From day one, our motto has been this simple phrase: Be Civic. And we’re sticking to it.
ACCESSIBILITY & SAFETY
The main entrance and indoor museum are entirely flat, but there are 4 steps up and 4 steps down to the backyard. The backyard is uneven earth with some steps and platforms.
We no longer require vaccination for entry. You must enter our event space through the indoor museum. However, once you are in the backyard, there is open air and ample space for social distancing.
The City Reliquary will not tolerate any hateful words or actions. If at any time you feel unsafe or concerned about anything at The City Reliquary, please talk to a volunteer, who can be found at the front desk or at the bar. They will do their best to address the issue.
If the price of the ticket is keeping you from attending, or you have any questions or requests regarding safety or accessibility, please email charlotte@cityreliquary.org.
