Guest Curator Amber Flame presents "Meet Cute at the Library"

About this event:

This spring Guest Curator Amber Flame invites us to engage with the resource of delight and the healing power of connectivity in collective care. The series “We Belong Together” includes three events that explore how we expand our human and natural connections to access delight and find resources for healing.

“Meet Cute at the Library” is inspired by an early 2000s The Stranger Suggests cheap date night to pick a book of love poems and take them to the red 4th floor to read together. You’ll experience stations of local performers sharing love poems and short stories to celebrate all kinds of love – romantic, yes, but also friend-love, platonic love, love of nature and animals, love for children, and more. Performers will come together for a panel on writing the heart.
