Description

A one-day, multi-sensory birthday celebration of Toni Morrison, one of the true jewels of the American literary tradition. Toni Morrison (February 18, 1931 - August 5, 2019) is a titan of the American literary canon whose works detailing the living experiences of African-Americans in the 20th century have been essential texts since the publishing of her first novel, The Bluest Eye, in 1970. Beyond the well-deserved awards and recognition which include a Nobel Prize in Literature, Toni Morrison was an insightful and keen cultural critic whose voice on matters of race, class, and gender dynamics remained prominent and influential up until her death. To put it plainly: Toni Morrison was a legend in her own time and lived a life worthy of celebration. On Saturday, February 19th, Curiosity & Co. is hosting an incredible birthday experience in the Curiosity & Co. Store featuring lively conversation, a catered menu, and a dynamic and immersive live reading of Song of Solomon by luminaries of Rhode Island's arts and civic communities. This signature Curiosity & Co. experience is sure to excite the senses and inspire a reflective joy in not only Morrison’s life and work but also the cultivation and activation of community in Jamestown, Rhode Island and beyond.
