About this Event
Black Repertory Group brings together three MacArthur Fellows for “Reading and Writing in the Age of A.I.,” a community conversation exploring how artificial intelligence is reshaping literature, storytelling, and creative expression.
Novelist, playwright, poet, and musician Ishmael Reed joins National Book Award winner Charles Johnson and former United States Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera to examine what these changes mean for writers, readers, and the future of the literary arts.
Wanda Sabir of the Bay View newspaper moderates the discussion, inviting audiences to consider the relationship between technology, human imagination, and the voices that shape our culture.
Following the forum, Karla Brundage, editor-in-chief of Tar Baby magazine, hosts a reading featuring local poets. Together, the conversation and poetry celebrate literary achievement, community participation, and the enduring power of human creativity in a world influenced by artificial intelligence and technological change.
