Speech is Not Free (reading and fundraiser)

Coagula Curatorial 974 Chung King Rd, Los Angeles, California 90012

Nov 7 at 7:00 pm

Join us in Los Angeles on Friday night, November 7th to celebrate the “Ping-Pong” Release Party and the 50th Anniversary of “Tropic of Cancer” Ruling for Free Speech and against Censorship

Some important points about the reading Friday night:

1. It is a fundraiser for the Henry Miller Library around the issue of free speech/banned books to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the the Supreme Court ruling on Tropic of Cancer, and the 80th anniversary of the publication of TOC, this will also be the release party for Ping-Pong journal of art and literature.

2. Each reader/artist to read/talk about a selection from a banned book/poem/work of art that meant something to them in perhaps a transformative way. Then they will also read an original piece(s).

This event will be really epic, and it is for a really good cause: the non-profit cultural arts center that is the Henry Miller Library–stalwart champions of artists and free speech for over 30 years!!! Special guests TBA. Food and drinks!
