Please join us on Thursday for a panel discussing community building.

Featuring: Aliah Lavonne Tigh(moderator), Randall James Tyrone, Chankrisna Tea, Glenn Shaheen, and Stalina Villarreal.

Location: Room 2101, Kansas City Convention Center, Street Level

Panel Description: Artist collectives have long been places of professional knowledge sharing, resistance, and deep care, but in this era of COVID-19, inaccessibility, and increasing homophobia, collectives offer invaluable support for the writer. Whether virtual or in person, local community-originating or a national group unified by an ethnic, cultural, or Queer identity, collectives offer writers the ability to build a new society or way of relating. These five writers of color gather to share their experience.
