The Big Read presents Art of Activism: Responses to Interior Chinatown

Join us on the Fourth Floor of Decatur Library for Art of Activism: Sharing Artistic Responses and Dialogue inspired by NYT Best Seller and National Book Award winner, Interior Chinatown by Charles Yu.

7 Stages Art of Activism Series brings together community experts, artists and patrons for powerful conversations.

By diving into Charles Yu’s Interior Chinatown we can address representation and the reduction of the identities of people of color to stereotypes. As global citizens, we’re tied together by a search for identity and preservation of culture in a world that is actively fighting against just that. The moderated conversation will be supported by the sharing of artistic responses from guest artists Dorothy Bell and Theresa Davis. All voices in the room are welcome, please bring your art to share!

This event is free and open to the public. Registration is requested. This will be held in the Fourth Floor Gallery of Decatur Library. Please enter through the main level and use the labeled elevator on the left, when you're facing the elevators, to reach the Fourth Floor. The Library closes at 8 p.m. Please arrive on time for this event. If you arrive late (after 8), entry is not guaranteed.

This is in conjunction with the National Endowment for the Arts Big Read in collaboration with Georgia Center for the Book. FREE copies of the book are available at 7 Stages and will be available at the event while supplies last. Digital copies of the e-Book and e-Audiobook are available on Libby.
