TUESDAY SEPTEMBER 24
5:30 – 8:30pm @ Storm Bookstore, 118 Norman Ave., Brooklyn, NY 11222
Join us for the launch of the zine Raíz Común, there will be live storytelling by Melissa Carmody (Director Karukinka Park Tierra del Fuego, WCS-Chile), Carla Macchiavello (Art Historian, BMCC CUNY), Christy Gast (Artist) and Camila Marambio (Curator of New Perspectives, Para La Naturaleza-Borikén).
Raíz Común is engaged in slow sisterly translation. Meetings begin with study of the Selk’nam language (indigenous to and re-*emerging * in Tierra del Fuego) led by poet and Selk’nam woman Hema’ny Molina. This common root connects to ideas about care, ecology and art, and a practice of translation that both includes and transcends poetry.
