Event Description

LIMINAL is a feminist & womanist writing space in the Allendale neighborhood of Oakland.  Our Beast Crawl reading will feature writing on the topic of gender. In a combination of poetry, prose, critical writing and song, we will propose various perspectives and experiences of gender in dialogue about the personal/universal.

Curator: Gina Goldblatt
