FREE event, contributions welcome.
Address will be revealed morning-of-event to attendees. This is a special indoor, in-depth, balanced-as-possible intimate conversation and performance, on couches and pillows.
Let’s talk about hate… salon-style. With some attempt at humor and entertainment… on a Saturday night in central Asheville. (Introverts welcome… no pressure to speak.)
How does hate “spread”? What makes it attractive as a stance, even to some of the people in our own families? What is it that causes such disconnection from those Robert Fulghum-esque lessons we were taught “there in the sand pile at Sunday school”?
Music and poetry will accompany a visit by Washington DC poet, sommelier, and trans woman Cayla Calhoun, formerly of Asheville and raised in Birmingham, who comes to us for an Oprah-style interview after a brutal, life-changing event. She’ll tell her story, and read her writing. You’ll like Cayla. She’s smart and funny, and an expansive conversationalist with a surprisingly grounded take on her experience. It’ll be a wide-ranging talk, definitely not always serious. We’ll sit around on couches and pillows and touch on current events, to look under the hood for human meaning. Charlie Kirk. Talk-show-host-ousting. Hillary Clinton referring to a group as “Deplorables”. I’ll (ahem, Oprah will) ask your take on some podcast excerpts.
Exact address will be emailed to attendees day-of-event. Please join us, and bring a friend. All political persuasions and beliefs welcome (seriously). Adults 18+ only, but please bring your kindergarten manners.
All contributions go to Cayla (she doesn’t need them, but you’re welcome to do this, here or at the event).
