BIPOC Reading Series- October
We’re back! And better than ever!
Starting this month, the BIPOC Reading series will meet in-person at the Literary Arts event space in downtown Portland. We are also welcoming a new cohost, Kyle Yoshioka.
This bimonthly reading series is intended to prioritize the safety, creativity, and stories of Black people, Indigenous people, and People of Color.
Come listen to our featured readers, or sign up to share your work in our open mic. Readings will be followed by a short community discussion.
The theme for October is “Uncertainty/Suspense.” Our featured readers are kim thompson and Philip Runia.
This event is open to everyone, but only people who identify as Black, Indigenous, and/or People of Color will be invited to read. If you have any questions, please contact our hosts Jessica Meza-Torres at jessica@literary-arts.org and Kyle Yoshioka at kyle.yoshioka@gmail.com.
