Thank you so much to everyone that has signed up to be a patron through the TFBWL Patreon!!

Your support means so much and literally helps this social art project grow and thrive. I appreciate you all, as well as every like, follow, book and encouraging message I receive!! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

Here are some sweet photos of some bright eyed book lovers that attended The Free Black Women’s Library when it was installed at Studio Museum in Harlem, October 2017.

People of all races, ages and genders are welcome to bring books written by Black women to trade with the library and each other. For each book you bring you get to take one, as long as it’s a good book by a Black woman writer.

People are also welcome to hang out with the books and take part in fun nerdy book and Black women focused activities and conversations. People are welcome to come and read, write, draw, and chill in the space.

TODAY the library is at EFA Project located at 323 West 39th street, near 8th Avenue.

We are on the second floor, and there is an elevator.

The library is open from noon to 5, book swaps start at noon, and we are talking about Camille Acker’s awesome short story collection, TRAINING SCHOOL FOR NEGRO GIRLS at 2.

Feel free to share this message and bring friends.

You don’t need to bring a book to attend.

See you then!!

Art en route to Art in the Park - Maren Hassinger’s “Message from Malcolm” (1998) at Central Park North (110th Street) (2,3 train) honors Malcolm X writings. As the artist stated, “Malcolm X believed that we as African Americans have the power to determine our destinies. This station is a reminder of that truth." Just 15 blocks north of this station, Maren Hassinger’s “Monuments” installation is now on view in Marcus Garvey Park presented by The Studio Museum in Harlem.  Her eight sculptures respond to the park as a site of hope and equality. According to Hassinger, "Within nature, we are equal."

The last Free Black Women's Library session was so beautiful it felt epic!! So many wonderful people came through, over a hundred books were traded and it was so busy I wasn’t able to get photos of every trade and/or beautiful moment, this amazing turnout in addition to the beautiful story telling workshop made it a very special day. Great exploration of “Sweat” by Zora Neale Hurston and “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid. also got some great footage and interviews for the TFBWL documentary. Thank you so much to everyone that came out!! Stay tuned for details on the next happening next month in Bedstuy. Special shout out of love and gratitude to Anais,Taylor and Rachel of the Studio Museum for all the amazing support
