Join us for an hour of reading, discussion, and writing focused on the idea of “home,” led by poet Dilruba Ahmed, author of Bring Now the Angels and Dhaka Dust (winner of the Bakeless Prize).
Is home another place, remembered or longed for? A community, a language, or a feeling rather than a location? Is it coming back to yourself, to your body or your history? What does it mean to make home in a place where you’re told you don’t belong? These questions are at the heart of Envisioning a Just Pittsburgh, a regional call for art inviting Pittsburghers to respond to the idea of home; they’ll also guide our work together.
