Join Level Ground at FCCW for a deep, 5-session community exploration of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents.
This book club is facilitated by Level Ground Collective artist, board member, and Butler scholar, Dr. Tamisha Tyler. The group will be hybrid so you can join IRL at Feminist Center for Creative Work in Los Angeles or virtually via Zoom.
Registration is currently open and costs $50 (FCCW community can get 20% off with the code above), which will cover a modest facilitation honorarium and a physical copy of both Parable of the Sower and bookclub workbook.
A lifelong Pasadena resident, Octavia E. Butler’s imprint on Los Angeles is undeniable and the city is a scorched backdrop for Parable of the Sower. In light of the devastating LA fires in January, neo fascism around the world, ongoing genocides and climate catastrophes, there is palpable urgency to learn from each other and in dialogue with Butler’s cautionary tales. Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents are two powerful texts left to us by Butler and we’re excited to collaborate with members of the Los Angeles arts and culture ecosystem and our Collective members for this first cycle of Level Ground’s Social Practice Labs.
