Tonight at the IMA is the Midwest film premiere of "On the Road Now: Artists and Writers Respond to Kerouac in the 21st Century", a reflection on the Kerouac beat legacy featuring Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Amiri Baraka, and others. Head conservator Jim Canary, curator of the scroll at Indiana University's Lilly Library, will introduce the film and afterward, show images of the scroll's own road trip across the world. I couldn't find out much about this film other than it was shown in Boulder Colorado last year as part of the first annual Kerouac Festival sponsored by Naropa University, which houses the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied poetics. It should be interesting to hear Ferlinghetti and Baraka speak and see the journey the scroll has travelled before its current stay at the IMA. And it will certainly be fascinating to hear Canary's tales of the road. 7:00 pm DeBoest Lecture Hall. For free for real.
