From the venue:

Join award-winning author and editor, Saeed Jones, for a keynote conversation with Victoria Chang, Tiana Clark, and Aruni Kashyap — three contributors to The People’s Project, a compelling new anthology that explores how art, storytelling, and community can help us navigate complex times.

Co-edited by Jones and writer Maggie Smith, The People’s Project brings together twenty-six writers and artists offering personal reflections on resilience, creativity, identity, and connection. This conversation will explore the power of expression through poetry, essays, and visual art to inspire and sustain us, especially during periods of uncertainty.
