About this Event
The Divides Project team invite the community to an evening of conversation and connection over a fun beverage and some pizza.
The evening will include small group conversations grounded in the themes of Malden Reads’ selection, Our Missing Hearts, a dystopian novel that follows a 12-year-old boy’s search for his missing poet mother in a near-future America where dissent is punished and families are torn apart. This novel offers cautionary yet hopeful reflections on art, love, and storytelling that resonate deeply today in Malden and across a nation grappling with division while yearning for connection, hope, and relief.
Whether or not you have read the book, we will make it easy and welcoming to join the discussion.
RSVP to attend. And if you like pizza, you can preorder it here.
Malden Reads is a community reading program in Malden, MA. Organized by community groups, city leaders, and residents, in collaboration with the Malden Public Library, the program invites the Malden community to read the same book and participate in a series of events related to the book’s themes. The goals of the program are to promote literacy, a love of reading, an appreciation of city resources, and most of all, to build community in the city of Malden.
- Founded by Christopher and Grace Tkach, Idle Hands started out in 2010 as the smallest commercial brewery in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, producing 1.5 barrels of beer at a time. Aside from great bear, this wonderful community treasure is so much more than a brewery. They are all about community. And so you will find all kinds of events, fundraisers, and ways to engage with your neighgber in this funky tap room on Commercial Street.
The Divides Project is a grant funded initiative that explores what disconnects us and how art & dialogue can transform divides into opportunities for deeper connection.
