THE BREW & FORGE LECTURE SERIES
The Brew & Forge Lecture Series puts poets and political organizers in conversation to exchange perspectives and alchemize collective dreaming. Previously housed at Williams College, the series brought 2-3 speakers to present on their work, followed by a panel in which they discuss the intersecting roles of activism and the arts in envisioning the future of social justice movements. When held in person, the speakers also taught writing/direct action organizing workshops to small groups of students, staff, faculty, and community members.
The first iteration of the series ran from 2019-2021. Contact hello@brewandforge.com if your school or organization would like to partner with us to run future events.
