The Reading Room is a casual, welcoming, and creative gathering dedicated to studying the works of Black feminist writers and thinkers. Each month, we read together, sit with big ideas, and open space for conversation and reflection.

This spring, we continue a study series centered on Love & Difference—exploring love as an ethical practice shaped by history, power, and relation.

In May’s Reading Room, we turn to James Baldwin’s “My Dungeon Shook” alongside “Revolutionary Hope: A Conversation Between Baldwin & Audre Lorde.”

Together, we’ll consider what it means to stay in relationship across difference and what that requires of us.

Photocopies of the texts will be provided.

Masks are required.
