Curator: Kristen E. Nelson
Location: outdoor courtyard
Description:
This series celebrates LGBTQ writers, female writers, writers of color, emerging writers, and other underrepresented groups. Everyone is welcome to attend! We will hold readings once a month on Friday or Saturday nights and host occasional workshops taught by our readers at FLUXX up the block.

Sometimes there will be music. Sometimes there will be dancing. Sometimes there will be video. Sometimes there will be swimming. Sometimes there will be surprises. Sometimes there will be raffles. Sometimes there will be fancy food. Sometimes there will be fancy drinks. Sometimes it will rain and you should bring an umbrella. Sometimes it will be chilly and you should bring a blanket. It is called the Fair Weather Reading Series for all of these reasons and more.

Aisha Sabatini Sloan is the author of the essay collection, The Fluency of Light: Coming of Age in a Theater of Black and White (University of Iowa Press 2013). A contributing editor for Guernica: A Magazine of Art and Politics, she was a nonfiction finalist for the 2015 Disquiet Literary Prize and the 2014 Write-A-House contest in Detroit.
