Free and all are welcome!

Please join us for a special conversation with writer, Angie Cruz, visual artist, Laylah Ali and poet, Diana Khoi Nguyen. Cruz, Ali and Nguyen will discuss the nature of collaboration in their work and their artistic process.

This event celebrates the launch of Aster(ix) Journal’s Spring 2024 issue featuring a series of prose pieces written in reaction to and in conversation with drawings by Laylah Ali’s Studies series. Contributors include Victoria Chang, Caro De Robertis, Jacquira Diaz, Patricia Engel, Chinelo Okperanka, and Alejandro Varela.

This event is made possible with the support of Dr. R.A Judy, the University of Pittsburgh Kenneth P. Dietrich School of the Arts & Sciences, CAAPP: Center for African American Poetry & Poetics, Pittsburgh Contemporary Writers Series, Pitt’s Center for Creativity, Department of Studio Arts and Pitt’s University Art Gallery (UAG).

Support Littsburgh!

Littsburgh™ is the online destination for the writers, publishing professionals, organizers, institutions, and readers who make Pittsburgh one of the world’s most literary cities.

Founded by three publishing professionals in 2015, Littsburgh showcases Pittsburgh as a hub of literary talent and activity while serving as a resource to foster further collaboration and connection within Pittsburgh’s vibrant literary community.

Littsburgh is a passion project and has been since inception.

Because we’re self-powered, we’ve been able to continue promoting literary Pittsburgh without having to compromise our vision or our mission — and without having to close up shop because of lack of funding. Our goal is for Littsburgh to be here for the long haul… and we’re only getting bigger and better every year!

As our audience has grown, however, so have our operating costs: hosting is increasingly expensive, spreading the word about literary Pittsburgh to our readers via social media channels requires paid “boosts,” and we’re investing literally hundreds of volunteer hours into the site every year.

With a small donation, one time or (even better!) recurring, you can help ensure that Littsburgh continues to grow and thrive.

Donate!

Help us spread the word about literary Pittsburgh!
