During a time of grief and violence, we gather in community to center our collective power to confront censorship of our realities, our stories, and our livelihoods. On the heels of this summer’s cancellation of the Asian American Lit Fest, and with Trans Day of Remembrance around the corner, we are excited to present: “Unghosted!”, a virtual reading room in celebration of diasporic Asian trans, non-binary, and gender-expansive voices. This event will be held virtually and for one day only on Zoom on Saturday, November 11th, at 3 pm PT / 6 pm ET.

Featuring Andrea Abi-Karam, Ashna Ali, H Fleix Chau Bradley, Celeste Chan, 최 Lindsay, Chaelee Dalton, River 瑩瑩 Dandelion, Eli Tareq El Bechelany-Lynch, Zeyn Joukhader, Koomah, E. Jin Mei O'Malley, Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha, Trish Salah, Willy Wilkinson. Curated by Ching-In Chen, Noah Arhm Choi, Chrysanthemum, and Yanyi. This event is in collaboration with Asian American Writers' Workshop, Asian/Pacific/American Institute at New York University, Brew & Forge, Kaya Press, Kundiman, Lambda Literary, Loyalty Books, Palah Light Lab at The New School, and Split This Rock.

This event will have live captioning and ASL, provided by Pro Bono ASL and Sign Nexus. RSVP is required at: bit.ly/ReorientingReads.
