About this Event
Hosted at T.O.L.K., art gallery and cafe, on February 20th, at 7 pm, we are excited to invite you to another iteration of Winterfat Reading Room. This evening will include spoken word, music, and set design by Emil Byun, as well as visual art and projections by Lucille Lindberg.
We have a wonderful lineup of writers and musicians who have all written something in response to the event theme and prompt, which is a meditation on poet Lucille Clifton's work, style, thematics, and purpose. This event includes an open mic for all to share!
This event is free of charge, but we request that you purchase a drink or food item to support the venue.
Winterfat Reading Room is a poetry series honoring dissident authors, and is a branch of Winterfat Presse, an anarcha feminist poetry collective based in New York City, also home to Winterfat Literary Magazine, a conjunctive print publication of experimental writing about the body and its revolutions, always interrogating how we may make resistance more sustainable, intentioned, and imaginable.
Our goal is to build a physical space that upkeeps dissident narratives and actively archives poetic legacies of resistance. We understand the importance of amplifying the embodied experience and its necessity in resistance and change. During our reading room, we invite more of ourselves through speech, song, and performance. In the practice of hearing oneself speak and being witnessed by others, we further remember why we are worth fighting for.
