Project Description

With support from the California Arts Council, Aunt Lute Books will partner with Yaffa A.S. and the Muslim Alliance for Sexual and Gender Diversity to execute a three-part program serving trans and queer Palestinians as well as others who have been impacted by or displaced by genocide, especially those racialized as Arab or Muslim and Black and Indigenous folks. We will host: a panel on how culture workers, artists, and writers can move society towards more equitable and just conditions, centering trans Palestinian voices and including queer, Black, and Indigenous culture workers; a workshop for trans and queer, Palestinian, Arab, and Black artists and writers training them on how to use art to move toward utopia; and a reading of works written during that workshop.

Organization Summary

Aunt Lute publishes 3-4 new titles a year, provides editorial support, and promotes authors through extensive programming, leveraging the power of literature to manifest connection. Our programming includes readings, workshops, and conferences, providing writing, publication, and promotional skills as well as representation on the literary stage.
