Femmes & Thems Destroy Fairy Tales

What if witches aren't so wicked, maidens aren't so innocent, and the only magic spell you need is the one you write yourself? Four women and nonbinary authors share subversive modern fairy tales that reach across cultures to explore queerness, climate change, migration, imperialism, liberation, the ecological, and the surreal. Take home a lucky talisman made by the authors! Fairy-tale attire welcome!

Featured readers: Syr Hayati Beker, Ploi Pirapokin, Kristina Ten, and Lauren C. Johnson.
