Location
Mass MoCA (1040 Mass MoCA Way, North Adams, MA 01247, North Adams MA)
The Black Feminist Book Club brings together community members to read and discuss, inspired by Black feminist texts. Gwendolyn VanSant hosts this next iteration of the book club in Mass MoCA’s Research & Development Store.
The group will explore the selected text together, view special exhibitions and community spaces related to the books, and be introduced to organizations that continue the work of historical Black feminists.
The Mass MoCA iteration of the Black Feminist Book Club is hosted by Multicultural BRIDGE and Gwendolyn VanSant. It is recommended to read the texts before for discussion, but you are welcome to join and listen in.
The book pick for the November 30 discussion is We Refuse: A Forceful History of Black Resistance by Kellie Carter Jackson, who will be present at this first gathering. By registering up to 1 week before each convening, you’ll receive a copy of each book, shipped free to your address. Registration also includes museum admission for the day of the meet up.
