Join us in person as a community to celebrate the publication of the Remaking the Exceptional: Tea, Torture, and Reparations book. This launch, like the book, weaves together artwork, poetry, legal testimony, research, and experiences of creative resistance against systems of oppression, all the while celebrating the struggle for survival, justice, and reparations by imprisoned people, activists, and artists.

The program will begin promptly at 5:30 p.m. CT, with a reception to follow.

Moderated by Maira Khwaja, the program's speakers include Mansoor Adayfi, Baher Azmy, Anthony Holmes, LaTanya Jenifor-Sublett, Alice Kim, Mohamedou Ould Salahi, and Aislinn Pulley.

For those unable to join in person, the program will be live-streamed via Zoom HERE!
