Schedule

HOME MADE: A Multi-Genre Literary Reading

Screening Room, 1–3 PM

Organized by Creative Corps artist Edward Gunawan, this multi-genre literary reading features local writers of immigrant and refugee backgrounds who explore themes of displacement and (be)longing; individual healing and communal well-being; connection and community-building in their work. You’re invited to contemplate the questions: how do we make a home for ourselves and for one another in this often and increasingly inhospitable world we live in?

Palabras & Poetry with Open Mic

2nd Floor Landing & Grand Lobby, 3–4:30 PM

Creative Corp artist Elizabeth Jiménez Montelongo and SF Bay Area poets & community members share words & poetry in community at this multilingual event!
