Queer Speculations: A Virtual Reading and Gathering ~ Saturday, June 22, 2024 ~ On Zoom

As we speculate about the future of the Queer Armenian community, what possibilities are before us? How can we use speculative fiction to imagine and reimagine those possibilities? In this event, authors Kristin Anahit Cass and Jacob Budenz will discuss how they have used speculative fiction to reflect on the present and illuminate future queer potentialities. Cass will read from her new book Reparations of the Heart: Toward a Swana Futurity and Budenz will read from his new book Tea Leaves. The conversation will be moderated by J.P. Der Boghossian, host of the podcast This Queer Book Saved My Life (2024 GLAAD media award nominee).
