About this Event
Dalit History Month Book Discussion
Join us this spring for a thoughtful and community-centered gathering as we mark Dalit History Month through literature, dialogue, and collective reflection.
In April, we'll be reading Pr*son Notes from a Woman Activist by B. Anuradha — a series of short, intimate Pr*son writings that capture the everyday realities of incarceration through the eyes of a woman activist.
We'll come together on Sunday, May 24th to discuss the book followed by a watch party.
Event Flow:
- Part 1 (Outdoors 🧺) – Group discussion at Square Saint-Louis (near Sherbrooke metro)
- 🎤 Two short presentations by Khoj members on additional Dalit literature
- 🎥 Part 2 (Indoors) - Screening and conversation on caste exclusion, discrimination, and the realities of Dalit communities today in both South Asia and North America
If the weather isn’t great, the full event will be held indoors.
About Khoj:
Culture Khoj brings South Asians together to connect over culture, identity, art, and literature; in a space that's open, thoughtful, and full of laughter. At its heart, Khoj is about joy. Making space for more of it in our lives, stepping out of constant code-switching, and showing up as we are while learning from each other.
Who can attend?
This event is open to everyone! South Asians and non–South Asians alike. You're also welcome even if you haven't read the book. Our gatherings are rooted in sharing lived experiences, listening, and learning together, so just come with an open mind.
