Why do queer women speak in tongues? And what does it mean for the way we tell—and hear—our stories?

Join us for an evening of readings, discussion, and ideas that will challenge the boundaries of language and literature. The first chapter of the featured work is free and available to everyone, and we’ll share excerpts from other chapters throughout the night.

Together, we’ll explore:

Why multilingual societies matter now more than ever.

The joy and challenge of reading books we don’t fully “understand.”

How queer women writers are leading a global literary movement rooted in language, identity, and connection.

Bring your curiosity, your thoughts, and your voice to this unique conversation.
