Saturday, January 20 Begins 5:30—6:30 pm New York Public Library 476 5th Ave at 42nd Street, Manhattan, NY FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
One
year after our inaugural Writers Resist event, PEN America joins dozens
of artists, arts organizations, and advocacy groups staging public
events on Art Action Day. We'll host a sundown reading on the steps of
the New York Public Library featuring literary texts that radically
re-imagine community and mutual aid in the face of xenophobia, hatred,
and threats to our sense of truth.
Our exciting and growing lineup so
far includes André Aciman, Tina Chang, Álvaro Enrigue, Justin Vivian
Bond, George Emilio Sanchez, Anne Waldman, and others reading from the
work of Gloria Anzaldúa, James Baldwin, Joy Harjo, and many more.
Join
us as we assemble to energize our community action and coalition
building for the year ahead.
