"A familiar museum in the Hamptons where I’ve gone countless times for art openings and theatrical performances, it became something else entirely on a tranquil November evening: seated among 15 local card sharks, I spent two hours playing Uno in Shinnecock as consonants flew through the air. As part of the First Literature Project, the event transformed Guild Hall’s cultural space into a lively, immersive setting for Indigenous language practice." - Cass Lovett
