Join us for a discussion of My City Need Something: Portraits and Prose for Black Existence with writer Christopher R. Rogers and photographer karim brown.
Moving between word and image, this new nonfiction work offers a contemporary portrait of Black life and the power of urban community, with a hyperlocal, future-forward invitation to reflect, recommit, and keep moving with purpose.
“My City Need Something is a historiography of a Black Existence that blooms with the care and criticism of its poetry and photography… [T]his book tugs hard at the drawstrings of its sweatsuit and keeps the reader tight and ready, exactly where we want to be.”
— @ill_iterate, writer, musician, and program director of United States Artists
This event is hosted by Common Notions Press and the W.E.B. Du Bois Movement School for Abolition and Reconstruction.
