[…] It’s an active remembering, re-membering, a knowing, conscientious foregrounding of the past and present, and imagined futures that conjures ghosts that disturbs the peace of the contemporary. And isn’t that why we, that is, artists are here, here to disturb the peace, as James Baldwin defines the role of the artist? Hosted by Madera, the evening will feature readings from the folio (https://bigother.com/2022/06/10/big-others-puerto-rican-writers-folio-a-hauntology/) by the following contributors: Carmen Bardeguez-Brown Michele Carlo Joey De Jesus Lyn Di Iorio James W.
