Description

What's in a Name? An Exploration of Ancestry, History & How We Honor Place. On this Thursday, May 12th, writer and activist, Donovan Scribes, joins us for a reading of his award-winning essay, "‘Why Scribes?’ The long, ancestral journey that led me to change my name." Donovan has put his creative and intellectual thumbprint across publications nationwide, universities, galleries, nightlife, community organizations, government and more. “Donovan has the rare ability to build bridges, break silos and open minds and hearts. His artistic practice is impossible to confine into one label, but if I had to somehow define him I would call him a “community weaver.” -Laura Lo Forti, co-founder of Vanport Mosaic Join us!
