Accommodations: Spanish Interpreter
Join City of Boston Artist Fellow Dariel Suarez and the Back Porch Collective for a reading and panel discussion on the theme of "There and Here: Global Perspectives."
The group will read from works in progress set outside of Boston, and will participate in an interactive panel discussion moderated by AGNI’s Senior Editor, Bill Pierce.
Come learn about the relationship between the writer's work and the experience of being an artist in the City of Boston. How do these things intersect? How do they influence each other? What are the challenges and advantages of writing about a place where you no longer live? What can these writers bring to the city? How can writers and readers in Boston think of literature as a global experience?
The Back Porch Collective is a group comprised of mostly international writers from diverse backgrounds:
Through the Artist Fellowship, the City of Boston offered five awards of $10,000 each in 2017 to Boston-based artists across disciplines. More than 300 applications were reviewed by a panel of jurors made up of local arts leaders and Boston Cultural Council members. Fellows were asked to work with the City on one public event showcasing their work. The 2017 fellows included Dariel Suarez, Mary-Jane Dohery, Marilyn Arsem, Jason Palmer, and Michelle Fornabai.
