Artist Reads @CharlotteStreet w/ Nathaniel Bozarth

Wednesday, April 21 at 6:00 PM

Love reading? So do we!

Join Artist Reads @CharlotteStreet monthly book club. Each month we have invited an artist to recommend a book that has inspired them, brought them joy or has been pivotal in some way. You will have one month to read the book. Artists will share their relationship and interpretation of the book and facilitate the monthly discussions which will be hosted virtually. As we’re unable to meet in person feel free to enjoy your own refreshments as we zoom into your living room. Readers who register will be provided a zoom link.

Let’s read with Nathaniel Bozarth, Wednesday, April 21, 2021, 6:00 – 7:00 p.m.

This month Nathaniel has chosen Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Black Panther Book 6 and Book 7 for us to discuss. Here are questions he would like us to think about as we are reading:

• In what ways is the Empire’s enslavement of The Nameless similar to American chattel slavery? In what ways is it different?
• How does memory inoculate you against oppressive or repressive forces? Or do you find that your embodied memory serves to retrench oppressive ways of thinking?
• Between book 1 and book 2, the artist changes. How do the artists interpret Coates’s Black Panther differently?

Want to purchase the book? Support our local bookstore Bliss Books & Wine, where you can find several copies of
