A panel discussion with Ben Caldwell, Ayana A. H. Jamieson, Douglas Kearney, and Nisi Shawl, in conversation with author Tisa Bryant and featuring DJ Lynnée Denise
March 10, 2016 | ALOUD @ Central Library
Co-presented by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles and Clockshop
Ten years after the passing of Los Angeles’ own Octavia E. Butler–one of America’s best science fiction writers and one of the few African-American women in the field— ALOUD celebrates Butler’s legacy. Navigating the dystopic L.A. that Butler often described in her short stories and novels, this panel will explore connections between Butler’s peers and colleagues, and the generation of writers and scholars who follow, and how Butler’s futuristic work resonates today.
This program was presented as part of Radio Imagination, artists and writers in the archive of Octavia E. Butler, a year-long program produced by Clockshop.
