Libraries in Practice: Tending Toward Liberation explores the unequivocal relationship between books, libraries, freedom, and liberation. Hosted within the C& Center of Unfinished Business, this program brings together organizers from local independent artist-run libraries, non-circulating collections, reading rooms, and small presses to consider the role of libraries in making space for freedom-work. At a time when libraries in the United States are under threat by right-wing legislation, the program explores the crucial ways in which these spaces shore up education and literacy and expand personal and collective narratives toward liberation.

Participants include: Emmy Catedral, Pilipinx American Library; Julia Grosse, C& Center of Unfinished Business; Yusuf Hassan, BlackMass Publishing; and Moderator, Re’al Christian, Assistant Director of Editorial Initiatives, Vera List Center for Art and Politics.
