SUMMARY:The Second United Lenape / Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow
DESCRIPTION:Join the weekend of family friendly fun\, culture\, art and learning with Indigenous dancers\, drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors. \nJoin Prospect Park Alliance\, the nonprofit that sustains the Prospect Park in partnership with the city\, Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing Collective\, which brings together Lunáapeew/Lenape communities who have been displaced across Turtle Island (North America)\, and American Indian Community House\, which promotes the well-being and visibility of the American Indian community\, for the Second United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow at the LeFrak Center at Lakeside in Prospect Park. \nThe first Pow Wow held in Prospect Park since 1972\, and the second ever Lenape Pow Wow in New York City\, this free\, two-day public event welcomes the original Indigenous Lenape peoples who were forced to relocate across the continent back to their ancestral homelands to reunite and share their cultures with Brooklynites today. Join the weekend of family friendly fun\, culture\, art and learning with Indigenous dancers\, drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors. \nPow Wows are gatherings where Lenape/Lunáapeew and neighboring Indigenous nations socialize and celebrate life. Prospect Park hosted formal Pow Wows from 1916 to 1972. Reviving this tradition in Prospect Park provides the Lenape/Lunáapeew an opportunity to celebrate their culture in their homelands and offers Brooklynites of all backgrounds the chance to enjoy the drumming\, dancing\, singing\, art\, crafts and foods of the original stewards of this land. \nLenape grandfather George Stonefish organized the First United Lenape/Lunáapeew Nations Pow Wow at the Park Avenue Armory in 2018. In 2024\, Prospect Park Alliance held a culture fair with the American Indian House and EL Collective as a precursor to the Pow Wow. Prospect Park Alliance is honored to help continue this important tradition by hosting Lenape and allied Indigenous artists and creators\, dancers and drummers\, and artisan craft and food vendors in Prospect Park for a weekend of family-friendly culture\, learning and fun. \nLunáapeew/Lenape means human beings or\, more specifically\, “the ones who came from thought\,” and is the name of the indigenous peoples whose ancestral homelands encompassed what is today Brooklyn and the surrounding region. Éenda-Lŭnaapeewáhkiing\, “the land of the Lunáapeew\,” holds the stories of a civilization rich with a deep understanding of the delicate balance and mutual relationships necessary to nurture and sustain a healthy world. \nThe Pow Wow is part of the Alliance’s ReImagine Lefferts initiative\, which is transforming the Lefferts Historic House museum to explore the lives\, resistance and resilience of the Indigenous people of Lenapehoking\, whose unceded ancestral lands the park and house rests upon\, and Africans who were enslaved by the Lefferts family.

SUMMARY:This Moment in Immigration: What’s at Stake and What Can Be Done
DESCRIPTION:Across the country\, migrants and refugees are living in fear as the nation confronts a pivotal moment in our history. Sweeping state-level restrictions along with drastic changes in national policies around asylum access\, deportations\, ICE raids\, and detentions\, have both intensified the debate over who is welcome in America and under what terms\, and created unbearable circumstances for the millions living in the United States who must ask themselves on a daily basis – when I leave my home\, will I return? \nJoin four leading voices on the frontlines of immigration advocacy\, policy\, journalism\, and humanitarian response. Omar Jadwat\, Director of the ACLU Immigrants’ Rights Project\, has led landmark litigation to defend immigrant rights nationwide; Hans Van de Weerd\, Senior Vice President for Resettlement\, Asylum & Integration at the International Rescue Committee\, oversees programs supporting refugees and asylum seekers in the U.S. and Europe; Murad Awawdeh\, President & CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition\, brings decades of grassroots organizing and policy leadership; and  Ethar El-Katatney\, Editor-in-Chief of Documented\, works to deliver essential news and information to immigrant communities.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation about David L. Eng’s latest book\, Reparations and the Human. Eng\, Joan Wallach Scott\, and Michelle Stephens will discuss reparations and human rights in the context of the Holocaust and the atomic bombings of Japan\, and with particular attention to how reparation functions across both political and psychoanalytic theory.

SUMMARY:Writing City Nature\, Writing the City Self
DESCRIPTION:Join Rajiv Mohabir for a workshop on writing about the environment!\n\n\nWriting about the environment is not the province of the rich\, the country-dwelling\, and the white poet. Asian American poets and writers have been expanding their ideas of the natural world to be expansive\, including human-made structure and infrastructures as being natural. They write starting with where they are located. In this three-hour workshop you will explore place-based writing the environment in the natural world of New York City and how reflections of the self echo our own attitudes towards how we regard the “natural world.” Together\, we will consider race\, settler colonialism\, capitalism\, ecological collapse\, and restoration as well as how poets have answered\, re-answered\, and rewritten the central questions of nature writing today. With this as a sigil\, in our time together\, you will draft at least one new poem or piece of short prose. \n__ \nPoet\, memoirist\, and translator\, Rajiv Mohabir is the author of five books of poetry and has been awarded two gold medals from the Foreword INDIES and Eric Hoffer Medal Provocateur. His other honors include being a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the PEN/America Open Book Award\, the Lambda Literary Award\, the Randy Shilts Award for Gay Nonfiction\, and both second place and finalist for the Guyana Prize for Literature. His translations have won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets. Currently he teaches poetry at the University of Colorado Boulder. \n__ \nCOMMUNITY CARE & ACCESSIBILITY\nAt AAWW\, the safety and comfort of our community is our top priority. We invite you to practice intentionality and care in your behavior and language when engaging with our programs and with each other. Violence of any kind\, including but not limited to racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, ableism\, ageism\, class or casteism\, bigotry or bias toward religion or faith\, or any action or assault against marginalized identities\, is not tolerated.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Drawn + Quarterly Graphic Novelists Featuring Tom Gauld\, Lee Lai\, and Mimi Pond
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with graphic novel publishers Drawn + Quarterly featuring Tom Gauld\, Lee Lai\, and Mimi Pond.   Discover the most anticipated graphic novels to come out this Fall from publisher Drawn + Quarterly. \nPhysics for Cats by Tom Gauld \nTom Gauld returns with Physics for Cats\, his second collection of science-based cartoons for the New Scientist. Find out why every scientist worth their sodium chloride has a Tom Gauld cartoon taped to their electron microscope. This new batch of hilarious gags will be as important to every self-respecting scientist as a lab coat and goggles and oversize rubber gloves.  Find out what the hadron’s news alert about CERN says! Everyone asks\, “What is dark matter?” and “Where is dark matter?” but do they ever take the time to ask\, “How is dark matter?” Based all on previous data\, we can predict with a 99.99% certainty that you will either laugh\, guffaw\, chortle or snort (we don’t have a large enough sample set to be able to say which particular type of mirth you will experience.) \nCanon by Lee Lai \nA LAMBDA Award winner and breakout fiction sensation returns with a darkly funny slice of friendship strife    We arrive to wreckage—a restaurant smashed to rubble\, with tables and chairs upended riotously. Under the swampy nighttime cover of a Montreal heat-wave\, this is where we meet our protagonist\, Cannon\, dripping in little beads of regret sweat. She was supposed to be closing the restaurant for the night\, but instead\, well\, she destroyed it. The mess feels a bit like a horror-scape—not unlike the horror films Cannon and her best friend\, Trish\, watch together. Cooking dinner and digging into deep cuts of Australian horror films on their scheduled weekly hangs has become the glue in their rote relationship. In high school\, they were each other’s lifeline—two queer second-generation Chinese nerds trapped in the suburbs. Now\, on the uncool side of their twenties\, the essentialness of one another feels harder to pin down.   Yet\, when our stoic and unbendingly well-behaved Cannon finds herself—very uncharacteristically—surrounded by smashed plates\, it is Trish who shows up to pull her the hell outta there.   In Cannon\, Lee Lai’s much anticipated follow-up to the critically-acclaimed and award-winning Stone Fruit\, the full palette of a nervous breakdown is just a slice of what Lai has on offer. As Cannon’s shoulders bend under the weight of an aging Gung-gung and an avoidant mother\, Lai’s sharp sense of humor and sensitive eye produce a story that will hit readers with a smash. \nDo Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me by Mimi Pond \nMimi Pond crafts a gorgeous\, dazzling biography of the Mitford Sisters.  Born with pedigrees but without the pocketbooks to match\, The Mitfords were certainly no strangers to lies\, intrigue\, or scandal. Nancy\, Pamela\, Diana\, Unity\, Jessica\, and Deborah. All six sisters were weaned on their family’s well-documented upper class eccentricities: a ne’er do well would-be entrepreneur father; a stern\, stiff-upper-lipped mother; a revolving door of governesses of varying propriety\, all against the backdrop of a crumbling estate falling into disrepair.  The sisters grew from cloistered turn-of-the-century country girls into debutantes who would marry into political influence—for better or worse. Is it any wonder that a young\, working class Mimi in Southern California becomes enamored with The Mitfords’ downright fanciful rich-and-famous lifestyle? This charming\, inventively cartooned\, and lovingly researched biography captures the dramatic\, over-the-top antics of high society’s strongest personalities as they rubbed elbows with some of history’s most infamous fascists and communists. Pond’s genius for classic cartooning in the vein of the Vanity Fair caricature and the satirical illustrations of Charles Addams brings the aesthetic decadence of the 1920s and ‘30s to life with effortless aplomb\, warts and all. \nTo join the event in person | Doors will open 30 minutes before the program begins. For free events\, we generally overbook to ensure a full house. Priority will be given to those who have registered in advance\, but registration does not guarantee admission. All registered seats are released shortly before start time\, and seats may become available at that time. A standby line will form 30 minutes before the program. \nAbout the Speakers \nTom Gauld was born in 1976 and grew up in Aberdeenshire\, Scotland. He is a cartoonist and illustrator and his work is regularly published in the The Guardian\, The New Yorker and New Scientist. He has created a number of comic books. He lives in London with his family. \nLee Lai is an Australian cartoonist living in Tio’tia:ke (colonially known as Montreal\, Canada). In 2021\, she was selected as one of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 for her debut graphic novel\, Stone Fruit\, which went on to win several awards\, including the Lambda Literary Award for Graphic Novel\, the Cartoonist Studio Prize\, the Lynd Ward Graphic Novel Prize\, and two Ignatz Awards. Her comics have appeared on the New Yorker\, McSweeney’s\, The New York Times\, Granta Magazine\, and the Museum of Modern Art Magazine. \nMimi Pond has been writing and creating comics for a very long time for all mediums\, both antique and futuristic. Very long ago\, she wrote the first episode of The Simpsons\, “Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire.” She is the author of a number of books. In 2014 and 2017\, Drawn & Quarterly published her fictionalized memoirs about her life as a waitress in late-1970s Oakland\, California: Over Easy; and its sequel\, The Customer is Always Wrong. 2025 will bring about the graphic biography Do Admit: The Mitford Sisters and Me. She is the recipient of an Eisner Award\, Inkpot Award\, and the PEN Center USA award for Graphic Literature Outstanding Body of Work. Pond lives in Los Angeles with her husband\, the artist Wayne White.

SUMMARY:Book Talk: In Celebration of Seabeast - Hybrid
DESCRIPTION:Join AAWW for a celebration of Seabeast by Rajiv Mohabir\, featuring Megan Pinto\, Ashna Ali\, and Rosamond King!\n\n\nJoin AAWW for a celebration of Seabeast by Rajiv Mohabir\, featuring Megan Pinto\, Ashna Ali\, and Rosamond King! \nOrganized as an alphabetical bestiary\, Seabeast lyrically catalogues whale species by common name and behaviors\, resulting in a poetic compendium that defies pathetic fallacy even as it sings the similarities between homo sapiens and the marine mammoths that have long captured our fascination. In his fifth full-length collection\, Rajiv Mohabir winds together the threads of cetacean evolution\, natural history\, animal migration\, and human culture and colonization as they concern the endurance of all species. In anthropomorphizing these complex mammals\, Mohabir argues\, we overwrite and erase their sublime difference and selfhood\, their distinct and separate experience of embodiment; yet\, in refusing to recognize the familiarities of whale behavior and social patterns\, we subjugate these magnificent creatures\, affirming a hierarchy that establishes anything inhuman as inherently less than human and enabling cruelty toward all manner of living things. \nMohabir’s language ingeniously plumbs the depths\, illustrating how the objectification fundamental to the construction and preservation of animal taxonomy mirrors the internecine violence of humankind on both a broad and intimate scale. “We were misnamed / again and again: first Hindu\, / then Hindoo\, then Indian\, then / Coolie\, all subhuman / much like this precursory cetacean / of the Eocene\, named / in Latin great lizard— / anguilliform\, what to make / of twist and tear\, teeth / gnashing sharks and durodons / into pulp\, judged by fossilized / gouges in enamel and finger / holes on skulls?” \nThrough the invention of race\, the conquest and consumption of land\, and the cultural amnesia enforced on the subaltern\, imperialism threatens human survival on this planet just as we have misunderstood\, taken captive\, and hunted whales nearly to extinction. Meditating on the results of genetic testing\, Mohabir details how\, like his white ex-spouse’s “ancestors / from northern Germany / played bone flutes / for their dead at gravesites\,” a lab “one day exhumed” them all “in perfect pentatonic scales.” Meanwhile\, he wonders what of his Indo-Caribbean heritage\, complicated by the obfuscating forces of indenture\, ethnic oppression\, and frequent relocation\, “can be revived” from this “wastebasket taxon\, / us unnamed hoard of no future?” Of the Irrawaddy Dolphin once “known for / herding shoals of fish / for fisherfolk / in whose nets / they now drown\,” Mohabir observes that “learning human / language opens you // to betrayal.” “Trust me\,” he urges\, “though I am no // hairless dolphin— / I once had a husband.” Standing at the confluence of these prehistoric\, mythological\, and contemporary tributaries feeding our attitude toward whales\, Mohabir asks\, who is the seabeast\, really? The namer or the named? The answer prompts us to see that\, if we recognize the legacy of human barbarism in the whale’s long history with us\, we can also locate a new reserve of resilience and survival. It is their example Mohabir uses\, not the “bright honey” of their blubber that once would “fuel lanterns\,” to power his own spiritual refortification. “Maybe I will\, from filling my lungs\, blood / rushing to my core\, / into a finned thing\, / transform.” \n__ \nPoet\, memoirist\, and translator\, Rajiv Mohabir is the author of five books of poetry and has been awarded two gold medals from the Foreword INDIES and Eric Hoffer Medal Provocateur. His other honors include being a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award\, the PEN/America Open Book Award\, the Lambda Literary Award\, the Randy Shilts Award for Gay Nonfiction\, and both second place and finalist for the Guyana Prize for Literature. His translations have won the Harold Morton Landon Translation Award from the Academy of American Poets. Currently he teaches poetry at the University of Colorado Boulder. \nMegan Pinto is the author of Saints of Little Faith\, her debut collection\, just out from Four Way Books. Her poems can be found in the Los Angeles Review of Books\, Ploughshares\, Lit Hub and elsewhere. She has won the Anne Halley Prize from the Massachusetts Review and an Amy Award from Poets & Writers\, as well as scholarships and fellowships from the Bread Loaf Writers’ Conference\, the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing\, the Port Townsend Writers’ Conference and Storyknife. Megan lives in Brooklyn and holds an MFA in poetry from Warren Wilson College. \nRaised in Italy and based in Brooklyn\, Ashna Ali is a queer and disabled child of the Bangladeshi diaspora\, and the author of The Relativity of Living Well (Bone Bouquet\, 2024) and the Substack\, PAIN BABY. Their work is featured or forthcoming from The Margins\, Indiana Review\, Sun Dog Lit\, and beyond. A Best-of-the-Net nominated poet\, they are the poetry editor for Epiphany Magazine and co-editor of Dead End Zine with Hunter Hodkinson. With Divya Victor\, they are the co-host of the poetry podcast The Source\, produced by Asian American Writers Workshop. They hold a Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from The Graduate Center\, City University of New York\, and are earning their MFA in the low-residency Creative Writing program at Randolph College. \nRosamond S. King is the author of poetry collections All the Rage and the Lambda Award-winning Rock | Salt | Stone\, as well as Island Bodies: Transgressive Sexualities in the Caribbean Imagination. She performs around the world and teaches at Brooklyn College\, part of the City University of New York. The goal of all of her work is to make people feel\, wonder\, and think. \n__ \nCOMMUNITY CARE & ACCESSIBILITY\nAt AAWW\, the safety and comfort of our community is our top priority.

SUMMARY:Yasmina Reza with Judith Thurman: Serge and Art
DESCRIPTION:Tony Award-winning playwright and novelist Yasmina Reza joins us with National Book Award winner Judith Thurman for a conversation about her new novel\, Serge — and the Broadway revival of her hit play\, Art. \nFrom page to stage\, from award-winning novels like Babylon to modern Broadway classics like God of Carnage\, Yasmina Reza brilliantly portrays the messiness of family\, where affection and resentment intertwine and the weight of a shared past looms large. Her new novel Serge — a gripping tragicomedy about a sibling road trip gone awry — is a testament to Reza’s gift for finding light in the abyss. \nIn a conversation with acclaimed literary scholar Judith Thurman\, hear Reza discuss the making of Serge and the Broadway revival of Art — her masterful play about the mysteries of friendship and creativity that announced her as a major voice in world literature. \nThere will be a book signing after the event.
