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
@ the Asian American Writers’ Workshop
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.
