The Midwest Shall Rise Again! | Virtual Zine Reading

Do you hear that? It’s the sound of the mighty Midwest rising from the earth, ready to take over the world. Join us for a FREE virtual reading of our zine E-Merge: Artistic Intersections of the Black Midwest, aptly named after the groundbreaking in-person event celebrating Black Midwestern creativity and community. As we bring the spirit of E-Merge back online, hear reflections from writers and artists on re-coding the narrative of the Midwest, supernatural possession in Ohio, the memory of Lake Erie, what Black Ohioan writers like Priscilla Jane Thomas, Mari Evans, Paul Laurence Dunbar, and Toni Morrison have to teach us about the internet, and more.
