WAR DIARY from Kyiv with Yevgenia Belorusets (Virtual)
Thursday, March 16 at 12pm

In War Diary, Ukrainian artist, writer, and photographer Yevgenia Belorusets sets the loving attentive gaze against combat rhetoric and philanthropy against polarization. She talks about her parents, about the air-raid shelters, about the images in the media and in the streets. There are frightening images, but also familiar ones: because everyday life can also be found in the most horrifying: “It was a spring day, the sunspots played on the walls of the houses and on the white walls of St. Sophia Cathedral.”

“One of the most inventive, phenomenally executed books I’ve read in decades.” —Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy

Author Sabrina Orah Mark on HAPPILY: A Personal History With Fairy Tales with Charter Oak Cultural Center Executive Director Rabbi Donna Berman, PhD (Virtual)
Tuesday, March 21 at 7pm ET

Based on her acclaimed Paris Review column “Happily,” Sabrina Orah Mark will discuss her new memoir-in-essays which reimagines the modern fairy tale, turning it inside out and searching it for the wisdom to better understand our contemporary moment. She grapples with a loss of innocence of her son in “Sorry, Peter Pan, We’re Over You;” an unlikely communion with wicked wives and the roots of their bad reputation in “The Evil Stepmother;” and the hunt for a wigmaker in a time of unprecedented civil unrest in “Rapunzel, Draft One Thousand.” Set against the backdrop of our current age of upheaval, Mark locates the magic in the mundane and illuminates the surreality of life as we know it today.
