Writing in Conflict: A Reading & Communal Discussion

THIS IS AN OFFICIAL BOOKEND EVENT.

To center work that deliberates our place in broken institutions, that grapples with precarious political conditions, that narrativizes ongoing conflict with urgency, Radix Printing & Publishing Cooperative presents a reading and communal discussion about literature as a political response. We can go back centuries to find evocative, contentious works of poetry, playwriting, visual narratives, and fiction that tackle, directly and through powerful analogy, the claws of militarism, autocracy, and majoritarianism. But what does it mean to write in the moment of upheaval, to put into words the cost to life and land, to write with both tenderness and responsibility?
Join us to hear authors Yashica Dutt, Marwa Helal, noam keim, Kyle Carrero Lopez, and Devika Rege share excerpts from their works and discuss the ethics, approach, and urgency to political literature.
