Organized by the Asian American Writers’ Workshop, Reorienting Reads, and many of our friends and associates, we invite you to join us for The Homeland in My Body, a marathon reading uplifting and celebrating Palestinian voices as part of the 2024 Asian American Literature Festival. In the midst of profound sorrow, we seek spaces of joy and kinship, resistance and solidarity, and we look forward to joining in this space of listening and learning. Readers include Leena Aboutaleb, Rasha Abdulhadi, Hannah Lilith Asadi, Farah Barqawi, Tarik Dobbs, Irene Hsu, Inam Kang, Sofia Koyama, and Fargo Nissim Tbakhi.
Light snacks and beverages will be provided, and we will conclude with a community Literaoke, so bring your best!
This event is free with RSVP and will be simultaneously live streamed, with live stream details coming soon.
RSVP HERE!
