More Than a Single Story: The Body

Personal history and the history of our ancestors are stored in the body. Our bodies carry the memory of triumph and trauma. Though many artists live the life of the mind, we cannot access the full truth without accessing the body. Participating in this discussion will be Anh-Hoa Nguyen, Rachmi Diyah Larasati, Naima Petigny, Junauda Petrus, Chris Stark and Alicia Steele. Now, more than ever, as Adichie says, “It is vital to listen to the multiple stories of a person or a place, to truly engage and gain an objective and in-depth understanding of a subject being written about.” $10; members $5.
