Fountain Bookshop – Book Talk: The Cities We Need: Essential Stories of Everyday Places

Join us at The Fountain Bookshop for an inspiring author talk, Q&A, and signing with Gabrielle Bendiner-Viani, author of The Cities We Need: Essential Stories of Everyday Places.

In this powerful exploration of Brooklyn and Oakland and the importance of community spaces everywhere, Bendiner-Viani blends photography and prose, sharing the stories of residents who give us a personal, intimate view of their neighborhoods. Through their eyes, we witness the vital, often overlooked places that shape our cities – and sometimes, are lost to gentrification and displacement.

Don’t miss this chance to hear from the author herself about the making of this evocative book! 📘💫

Sugar Hill – Harlem’s Son: A Poetry & Performance Workshop inspired by Langston Hughes

Harlem’s Son: A Poetry & Performance Workshop inspired by Langston Hughes

This interactive poetry workshop takes place in Jamel Robinson’s solo exhibition, A Love Worth Fighting For, and draws a line between the artist’s work and the legacy of Langston Hughes.
Jamel invites the audience to reflect on lineage, language, and presence—to respond to the art works on display and voices that came before. Through the words of Langston’s poem “I Too” and the artist’s guidance, participants are encouraged to create their own poetry and take their place among those voices.
