Reading Room is House of the Lorde's monthly Black feminist study group.

We believe study is a collective practice.

Each month we gather to read Black feminist texts aloud, listen deeply, and reflect in community. We move slowly, making space for curiosity, and conversation.

This month we'll gather around Toni Morrison's celebrated essay, The Site of Memory. Together we'll sit with Morrison's reflections on memory, imagination, and the stories history leaves untold, considering how they echo throughout our own artistic practices and lives.

Whether you're joining us for the first time or returning to familiar writers, you're welcome here.

Tea, texts, and masks provided.
