Butler’s Parable books begin in a fictional 2024, a brutal world that bears a remarkable resemblance to our own. In this workshop series, we ask: How can Olamina’s story, and Earthseed help us to navigate the actual 2024, and beyond?
Books for the Future is more than a book club. Conversations and workshops will inspire and sustain our work as Shapers of change. If you have not yet read the Parable books, purchase them now from the Ivy Bookshop. Check out photos from our first session together below and join us for the next one summer 2024.
Join us. Shape Change.
Stay tuned for details on the next Books for the Future gathering. We will continue to explore themes from Octavia Butler's Parable Series, then carry those themes into a multi-part workshop based on Hospicing Modernity, by Vanessa Machado de Oliveira. Finally, we'll read and create adornments and puppets based on Eli Nixon's illustrated book, Bloodtide.
