Join us for this very special event of readings from the best Emerging Indigenous Writers! Doors open at 6:30p and readings begin at 7:00p. Enormous thanks to our guest curator, Alicia Elliott, for selecting these exceptional writers:

LAURA LAWSON Laura Lawson is Mohawk (turtle clan) and a member of the Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte. A former journalist, she loves to tell other people’s stories – and occasionally her own.

TYLER SLOAN Tyler J Sloane is a multidisciplinary theatre/performance artist. Their mandate is to emphasize marginalized voices that intersect: race; fluid sexualities; trans, non-binary, and fluid gender expressions; non-monogamous relationships; and class.

JAYDA MARLEY Jayda Marley is a Queer Femme Afro-Indigenous poet from Tkaronto, who uses her words to bend stereotypes & teach youth across Turtle Island how to use their voice for good in their communities.
