Looking for a meaningful way to spend your Sunday afternoon? Dive into the world of The Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler, and connect with fellow art and book lovers for a lively discussion!
Please read The Parable of the Sower beforehand to join the discussion! This dystopian classic by Octavia Butler delves into themes of survival, social change, and hope—perfect for a deep conversation with others who share your love for books.
Reason for this event is the exhibition Reply:Forward , focused around the theme of hope. Three curators were asked to create an exhibition with art made by young makers to see how they view hope. In conversation with 21 artists under the age of 35, they’ve come to see that hope is not linear, there is no beginning or end but hope can be seen as a constant. This exhibition takes you from the present to the past and gives you ways to look at the future. Hope is a practice that can be done individually or in community.
Moderated by Reading in Black ( Sharily Ortela) – expect an engaging, thought-provoking discussion with insightful questions!
Whether you're a long-time fan of Butler or just starting, we promise an enriching experience with great people and a meaningful conversation. Don’t miss out—RSVPand let’s make it an afternoon to remember!
Before or after the book club you are more than welcome to visit the exhibition itself.
