The AfterWords Literary Festival presents Writing Resistance: How and why do we continue to make art in what feels like a time of total ungrounded chaos? Join francesca ekwuyasi and Cooper Lee Bombardier in a conversation that explores how it is vital to keep making art as resistance and response, as a way of understanding and witnessing, as an ongoing act of hope. Presented by the University of King’s College. The discussion gets underway on Thursday, November 6th at 2:00 PM (doors at 1:30 PM). Tickets are $8.
