Pop-up: De-Canon: A Visibility Project presents Ami Patel & Ken Yoshikawa

De-Canon: A Visibility Project, based in Portland, Oregon, is a “pop-up library” and web resource project that will showcase literary art by writers/artists of color. Our goal is to put forth an alternative literary “canon” — or multiple canons — that are inclusive, diverse, and multi-storied in their approach to representation. De-Canon wishes to challenge existing ideas of what constitutes the North American literary canon, especially in our current culture.
