How to Get Free: Healing in the USA

Co-presented with Museum of the African Diaspora

Three writers, three radical visions of healing in America today. Decorated, award-winning poets and journalists Morgan Parker, Carvell Wallace, and sam sax’s recent transformative works reimagine the conventions of self-love in a world that wasn’t built for you. Whether it's Parker’s investigation of racial consciousness and its effects on mental well-being (You Get What You Pay For), Wallace’s irresistibly made case for life in his excavation of growing up Black and queer and homeless (Another Word for Love), or sax’s kaleidoscopic coming of age novel (Yr Dead)—all these writers present profoundly original meditations on healing, told through the lenses of justice, sex, family, gender, protest, and death. Moderated by The Stacks podcast founder and host, Traci Thomas. Doors at 6:30PM. $17 adv / $20 door
