📚 Book Club 001 — Imagination for Liberation
​Project Horn Book Club 001: Imagination for Liberation
​This September, we’re reading together.
​Our first theme is Imagination for Liberation.
​How do we imagine home from elsewhere? How does displacement shape what we think is possible? And what does it mean to imagine beyond the world we’ve inherited?
​Our main read is Dinaw Mengestu’s The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears, a novel exploring migration, displacement, memory and belonging through the life of an Ethiopian immigrant in Washington, D.C.
​Alongside it, we’ll draw on selected ideas from Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o’s Decolonising the Mind as a companion text for thinking about culture, language and liberation. You don’t need to read the whole companion text.
​You don’t need to be an academic or seasoned reader. Just come curious and ready to talk.
​Sunday 20 September
7pm BST 8pm CEST / 9pm EAT / 2pm EDT 11am PST
​Online via Google Meet

​The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears is our main read. We’ll share details of the selected companion reading with everyone who signs up.
