2201 Speedway,Austin TX 78712

15 September, 2022

Description

Join memoirist and Holocaust scholar Laura Levitt for a conversation about what it means to hold what were once ordinary objects as evidence, as juridical and historical evidence of violent crimes and traumatic legacies writ large and small. Bring your stories or writing about how objects can help us talk and write and share these stories--both personal and communal--about violence and violation in our worlds. Lunch will be provided.
