SUMMARY:Nikki Patin Book Release
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the book release event for Nikki Patin’s new memoir\, Working on Me. The event will include a reading and discussion with Denise Ruiz\, owner and founder of The Honeycomb Network; a book signing; DJ set with Duane Powell; and light refreshments.  \n\n\n\n$10 general admission\, $20 for admission + copy of the book \n\n\n\nAbout the Book:  \n\n\n\nWorking on Me chronicles the dysfunction and lore of a Black Russian Jewish interracial family on the far south side of Chicago\, and the resulting trajectory of its prodigal child: multifaceted\, multidisciplinary artist\, performer\, and sexual and domestic violence survivor Nikki Patin.   \n\n\n\nA meditation on the biomythography genre defined by Audre Lorde\, Maxine Hong Kingston\, and Joy Harjo\, Working on Me lyrically dances in and out of different voices and perspectives in order to get to something like the truth. Patin’s prowess as a poet and a songwriter is reflected in prose that is brutal\, beautiful\, and brave.  \n\n\n\nWorking on Me is about what it means to work on oneself to heal and break patterns of harm and violence and what makes the healing necessary in the first place: all the forces beyond our control that work on us. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author: Featured in The Guardian\, Chicago Tribune\, the Chicago Reader\, on WBEZ\, WTTW\, FoxSoul\, and on international television and radio\, Nikki Patin has been writing\, performing\, educating\, and advocating for over two decades. She has taught workshops on performance poetry\, body image\, sexual assault prevention and LGBT issues for over 20 years.  \n\n\n\nPatin has performed\, taught and spoken at the University of Chicago\, Northwestern University\, Cook County Jail\, Rikers Island prison\, University of Michigan\, University of Wisconsin- Madison\, EXPO Chicago\, Black Artists Retreat\, Brooklyn Museum\, and the National Black Theater in Harlem and many other spaces throughout the U.S.\, New Zealand\, and Australia.    \n\n\n\nIn 2014\, Patin addressed the United Nations in Geneva\, Switzerland on behalf of Black women survivors of sexual violence in the U.S. Nikki Patin holds an MFA in Creative Nonfiction from the University of Southern Maine and is founder and Executive Producer of Surviving the Mic\, a survivor-led organization that uplifts the narratives and artistic excellence of writers and performers impacted by sexual harm and trauma.

SUMMARY:FLECHO Book Fair
DESCRIPTION:We are excited to announce\, the Guild Complex will participate in FLECHO in Quibdo\, Colombia! \n\n\n\nFrom March 20-24\, members of the Guild Complex along with 4 talented and creative Afro-Latin writers will travel and participate in this four-city traveling book fair which will culminate in Quibdo\, Columbia.

Along with these talented writers\, a documentary filmmaker will follow along to capture this experience. \n\n\n\nFLECHO is a program of MOTETE. A cultural arts organization\, based in Colombia\, that promotes the development of critical\, autonomous and creative thinking for the exercise of active citizenships\, through the generation of meetings around culture\, reading\, and the arts. \n\n\n\nThe Guild Complex was invited to be a part of FLECHO by a couple of the program organizers\, Velia Vidal and Christian Vasquez after the Guild Complex collaborated with Vasquez on several Palabra Pura events in 2021 that included folks from the writing community in Colombia. This opportunity was born out of a mutual desire to extend the Guild’s programming mission of serving marginalized communities through the literary arts by showing up for this modest city whose population is made up of mostly Afro-Colombians. The goal being to bring in more writers who looked like the people of Quibdo and to show the diversity of voices brought forth by Palabra Pura. It is a unique opportunity like no other the Guild Complex has done before. This program is done with partial support from the Poetry Foundation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Artists:\n\n\n\n\n\nAlan Pelaez Lopez\n\n\n\nAlan Pelaez Lopez is a poet\, installation and adornment artist from Oaxaca\, México.
