The Big Read Cape Cod

Tuesday, February 25 at 6:30—7:30 PM
Hermann Foundation Meeting Room

From October 2024 to May 2025, The Arts & Justice Collective will hold various literary, art and social justice events and programs centering around Claudia Rankine’s “Citizen: An American Lyric.” The Big Read Cape Cod is in collaboration with a wide range of community partners, including libraries, cultural centers, social/racial justice organizations, theaters, literary and art organizations and local artists.  This program is possible because of funding and management from the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Midwest and the Falmouth Cultural Council. 

Join us for an in-person book discussion of Citizen by Claudia Rankine, a powerful exploration of race, identity, and belonging at the Falmouth Public Library.  Let us come together across Cape Cod to reflect, connect and spark conversations that matter. 

Facilitated by local poets, Ocean Eversley and Alice Kociemba.  Ocean Eversley is an African American and Native American Aspie woman whose ideals bend towards social justice, self-love and treating people and the environment with dignity and respect.  Alice Kociemba is the current chairperson of the Falmouth Cultural Council; Alice is a long-time advocate for community engagement through the arts.  A published poet and part-time potter, she curated a long-running series, Calliope Poetry that brought local, regional and national prize-winning poets to Falmouth.
