SUMMARY:Protest/Protect: A Sukoon Virtual Reading
DESCRIPTION:6 p.m. EDT Monday\, July 27\, 2020\nProtest/Protect: A Sukoon Live Reading\nFree\nRSVP to Facebook event \nIn collaboration with Sukoon\, AANM presents a live reading around the theme of “Protest/Protect\,” co-curated and hosted by Sukoon founding editor Rewa Zeinati\, with performers Aja Monet\, Chaun Ballard\, Safia Elhillo and Layla Azmi Goushey\, and music from Ian Fink. \nIn all 50 states and across the world\, protests have been erupting. Why do we protest? Why do we question? Why do we create? To dismantle systems of injustice and oppression\, and to reimagine a future in which we may exist more fully. We also do it to preserve\, protect and remember what’s rightfully ours: to live a life in dignity. As demonstrations continue across the country in response to long-standing issues of systemic racism and injustice\, “Protest/Protect” honors the global uprisings of the Black Lives Matter Movement. Through this event\, we will hold space for writers and activists to express the struggles\, experiences and victories of the ongoing protests in the fight for freedom. \nThis virtual reading will be streamed live on AANM’s Facebook page\, so be sure to RSVP to the Facebook event to be notified and tune in when the livestream goes up.  \n  \nAja Monet is a surrealist blues poet\, storyteller and organizer born and raised in Brooklyn\, NY\, who follows in the long legacy and tradition of poets participating and assembling in social movements.
