7pm | Strand Book Store: 828 Broadway, Manhattan | $13.61+
“A release event featuring Syrian-Canadian author and LGBTQ+ advocate Danny Ramadan discussing his new memoir, moderated by writer Alejandro Heredia. Ramadan’s memoir chronicles his journey from Damascus through underground queer networks in the Middle East, experiences during the Arab Spring uprisings, imprisonment, and eventual arrival in Vancouver — “a powerful refutation of the oversimplified refugee narrative, a book that holds space for joy alongside sorrow, for nuance and complicated ambivalences.””

8:30pm | Fort Greene Park: Brooklyn | Free

Inspired by the materials and textures of the farm, Anumeha will guide you in gathering natural and found materials from around the farm — leaves, flowers, wood scraps, and more — to create a personal composition that captures your experience of the place. You’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind fine-art print.”
