What kinds of futures unfurl when we stop acquiescing to what we’ve inherited and start building spaces with intention? In this forward-looking conversation, Shizue Seigel (Courting A Man Who Doesn’t Talk; Uncommon Ground: BIPOC Journeys to Creative Activism), Kimi Sugioka (Wile & Wing), Kelechi Ubozoh (We’ve Been Too Patient), and Andre Le Monte Wilson (Hauntings) gather to talk about how writers and artists of color are imagining and making creative spaces that feel livable and can grow with us.
Curated by the Mixed Race Affinity Lit Collective, which centers creative community, and the power of underrepresented stories for those who identify as multiracial, multiethnic, or of mixed cultural heritage, this conversation will move through questions of belonging, collaboration, and care, and look at how small, intentional choices can open up much larger possibilities. The future doesn’t show up all at once. It takes shape in rooms like this one, through conversation, care, and the choices we make alongside each other.
