READING ROOM: knowledge Systems
Event description
Joy persists when we tell stories. Be it in writing what is blissful, or in creating through grief and darkness. Joy can illuminate like the sun bearing down and burrowing into our skin, or it can peak through the cracks of our fingers as we shade sudden bursting lights from blinding us. To me, creating stories is The Joy.
Join this reading room session guided by a reading list, texts and prompts encouraging open discussions.
“PART OF BEING A REVOLUTIONARY IS CREATING A VISION THAT IS MORE HUMANE. THAT IS MORE FUN, TOO. THAT IS MORE LOVING. IT’S REALLY WORKING TO CREATE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL." - Assata Shakur
