November 30, 2026

A conversation with master storytellers and MacArthur Fellows Hanif Abdurraqib (2021), Ai-jen Poo (2014), and Jason Reynolds (2024) exploring how care and caregiving are woven through their art, relationships and writing. The speakers will draw connections between care, love, grief, and vulnerability, and examine the relationship between making art, surviving disintegrating systems, and caring for one another across generations.
