Writing Studies: Making Family Fiction<\/strong>
\nA public reading and conversation with novelist, filmmaker and co-founder of Black Film Space, Lande Yoosuf and writer Melanie Curran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Apr 11th, 5:30pm<\/strong>
\nGeorge Segal Gallery<\/strong>
\nÄ¢¹½ÊÓƵ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Making Family Fiction is a public reading and conversation with novelist, filmmaker and co-founder of Black Film Space, Lande Yoosuf. Yoosuf will read from her debut novel,\u00a0Ko-Foe: The Story of a Nigerian Muslim Family in The New York Diaspora<\/em>. The conversation will be led by Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ First-Year Writing faculty and creative writer,\u00a0Melanie Beth Curran<\/a>. This dialogue will consider how an artist transmutes their personal identity, family traditions, and community fluency into the fictional form. What difficulties and triumphs arise from this process?<\/p>\n

Students, faculty, and the public are all invited to attend. This event will be held at the beautiful George Segal Gallery at Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ. Our conversation seeks to compliment Caroline Garcia\u2019s Dancing on Axes and Spears, currently on view in the gallery space.<\/p>\n
