Tribute to Ursula K. Le Guin

Hey everyone,


Since Ursula is such a beloved figure in our circles, I thought this would be of interest. The nonprofit I work for, Literary Arts, was asked by Ursula's family to create a live event to honor her life and work. I was fortunate (and very, very nervous, tbh) to be tasked with doing all of the visual design.

Speakers include our own Kelly Link, Margaret Atwood (by video), Molly Gloss, Walidah Imarisha, Jonathan Lethem, China Miéville, and Daniel José Older.

You can watch the livestream here on Wednesday, June 13 at 7:30pm PST.

In the slim chance you're located near Portland, OR there are still a handful of free tickets left to the show.

Best,
Alanna

  1. This sounds great! Any chance they're housing the livestream for later viewing?

    (P.S. the design for this looks AMAZING.)
