SUMMARY:Afterwords Literary Festival: Celebrating Nova Graphica
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the launch of Nova Graphica: A Graphic Anthology of Nova Scotia from Nova Scotia’s own Conundrum Press.\n  \n \nThe AfterWords Literary Festival was co-founded by Ryan Turner and Stephanie Domet\, and in the fall of 2019\, AfterWords held its inaugural edition.  In 2020\, due to Covid-19\, the festival will host live events online between September 30th and October 4th. AfterWords is primarily interested in presenting (and being in the audience for) conversations among writers about the ideas that push them forward\, the experiences that formed them into writers\, and what writing can tell us about how to be human. Our mission is to give those writers who choose to join us the very best experience that Halifax has to offer.  \nWe will offer live captioning upon request to all of our online events.  \nWe celebrate our festival on the unceded and traditional homeland of the Mi’kmaq People. We do land acknowledgements as a part of the reconciliation process. In order for this festival to exist\, for Canadians to enjoy the lives that they have\, Indigenous people were removed\, displaced\, and killed. This truth is an uncomfortable one\, but one that is necessary to face if we\, as fellow Canadians\, are to understand our whole history. We honour the Mi’kmaq\, whose stories have been shaped by Mi’kma’ki. \nNew from Nova Scotia’s own Conundrum Press is Nova Graphica: A Graphic Anthology of Nova Scotia. Celebrate the launch of this volume of illustrated histories of Nova Scotia. The histories feature important figures like Viola Desmond and Dr. Moses Coady\, institutions like the Halifax Infants’ Home\, Seekhers in Wolfville\, and company houses in Cape Breton\, along with lesser known characters\, and a good helping of ghost stories too. Join Nova Graphica contributors Kris Bertin and Alexander Forbes\, Rebecca Roher\, Laura Kenins\, Colleen MacIsaac\, and others for a rich\, visual celebration of this fascinating collected history. \nSuggested donation of $5.00. \n8:00-9:30 pm AST on Wednesday\, September 30th.\n \nTickets available August 10th.
