EVENTS
Opening reception—‘DISGUST: unhealthy practices.’ 6:30-8 p.m. April 7, east window SOUTH, 4949 Broadway Unit 102-C, Boulder, eastwindow.org
“DISGUST: unhealthy practices”, a group exhibit curated by Todd Edward Herman, filmmaker, photographer and founding director of east window, is the culmination of an open call for work by nearly 100 writers and visual artists around the world. Our collective actions relative to our experiences of disgust often bear witness to damaging prejudices and rhetorics, which attempt to conflate those who we perceive as different from ourselves, socially, culturally, politically, sexually, religiously, in age or ability, with vectors of physical or moral contamination. This project aims to confront, subvert and transform these prejudices.

Anna Quindlen—‘Write for Your Life’ (virtual). 5 p.m. Tuesday, April 12. Tickets: $26-$36, boulderbookstore.net
In this lyrical new book, Anna Quindlen argues that there has never been a more important time to stop and record what we are thinking and feeling. Using examples from past, present, and future—from Anne Frank to Toni Morrison, from love letters written after World War II to journal reflections from nurses and doctors today—[[i[[Write for Your Life[[i]] vividly illuminates the ways in which writing connects us to ourselves and to those we cherish. Quindlen makes the case that recording our daily lives in writing is essential.
