I am excited to announce that this week I am going to be reading my own fiction at Asian American Writer's Workshop! Come see me read my work at the MIXTAPE - the opening event for the South Asian Women's Creative Collective's transmedia literary festival this Friday at 7pm. More info below:
110-112 West 27th Street, 6th Floor (btwn 6th and 7th Aves)
$5 at the door
The festival kicks off with an evening of song-inspired readings by South Asian women. From ghazals to indie rock, bhangra to electronica, these writers will celebrate the crossovers of music and literature and explore the ways in which songs and music influence poetry and prose. Featuring Jordan Alam, Roohi Choudhry, Kavita Das, Swati Khurana, Bhumika Muchhala, Bushra Rehman, and Roopa Singh.
Alongside the reading, artist and writer Swati Khurana presents “Scrolling Texts,” a participatory project in which attendees can have their saved text messages transcribed onto scrolls, tied with thread.
Creative Commons: A Transmedia Literary Festival
Friday, November 30–Saturday, December 1, 2012
Storytelling and creative processes have undergone a revolution in the digital age. We dip in and out of different forms of media, borrow from each other every day, and create completely new forms of communication and expression. Inspired by these shifts, SAWCC presents Creative Commons, a two-day transmedia literary festival featuring authors, comedians, filmmakers, and other storytellers writing at the intersection of literature, media, and performance.Friday, November 30, 7 pm | Mixtape: Reading
