An Arts Initiative Promoting Racially Conscious Reading
This 2020-21 project was a collaboration of Story Remedy and Subvert. Our write-ups on many of the books we included in our subscription service are available to read on Substack and Medium. If you are interested in purchasing any of these books, they are available via Bookshop. Here is one of our collaborative projects on art and poetry based on a children’s book.
“We know — we who love words, we who love language, we who love story — we are doing our part.”
