12 Hrs of Black Literature
Indulge in 12 hours of storytelling with Black Canadian authors and poets that will invigorate the imagination and spark great conversations.
“12 Hours of Black Literature” will celebrate the rich tradition of Black literature and spoken word artistry. This performance features both established and emerging Black Canadian authors, poets, and oral storytellers who have and continue to make groundbreaking contributions to the Canadian literature scene. Every hour, audiences can expect to listen to a 30-minute reading by a Black Canadian author and are encouraged to participate in a short talkback session. This will be followed with 30 minutes of a lively spoken word poetry performance, where audiences can expect to be energized and engage with the artist after the performance. This event explores the theme of Breaking Ground as it features artists and authors who have broken new ground in their respective genres, and whose works continue to inspire and challenge readers and listeners alike.
