Audre Lorde & Adrienne Rich Marathon Reading
Along with Shawn Smith and Flavia Rando, I’m helping to organize a marathon reading of writing by Audre Lorde and Adrienne Rich at the Lesbian Herstory Archives. It’s going to take place on November 17, 2012 (the 40th anniversary of Lorde’s passing), at the Archives in Brooklyn, NY, from 12noon to 12midnight.
We’ve already had a wonderful response and a whole range of different organizations are taking part, from the Astraea Foundation to bklyn boihood to Belladonna.
I’m really excited to be part of putting this event together and really looking forward to the chance to spend a day sinking into the work of these two remarkable women.
Get the full details here.
In addition, the Archives is running a fundraising campaign in tandem with the event. If you can, please give to this important and extremely unique organization, dedicated to preserving the stories of women who often remain hidden to history. Donate here.
