ConTextos & MAAFA Virtual Publication Event

ConTextos

Join us  in celebrating ConTextos Authors from the MAAFA Redemption Project as they share  their truths through a film project.

With continued support from Chicago CRED, ConTextos launched and led our first Authors Circle with the men from the New Mount Pilgrim MB Church&#x27;s MAAFA Redemption Project. With the onset of COVID, we quickly pivoted from our traditional writing circles to incorporating digital imagery and storytelling, co-producing a documentary about their lives during this time of COVID, racial reckoning and summer 2020. We are excited to share their journeys and celebrate their efforts to transform their lives, break cycles and push forward despite setbacks. Register to receive the link to view the film, and be sure to join us on Tuesday, December 22 for a panel discussion with MAAFA Authors and ConTextos facilitators broadcast live from New Mount Pilgrim MB Church via Zoom from 7-8pm. We&#x27;ll take a look at select clips from the documentary, hear directly from MAAFA Authors and take questions from those in attendance. Suggested donation: $20If you have any questions about the event email us at chicago@contextos.org.
