Conjuring Hope: Deciphering Parables

Join Beal Botanical Garden and Dr. Kinitra Brooks (MSU Dept. of English) in a community event diving deep into the concepts of hope, Afrofuturism, and conjure through Octavia Butler's Parable Series. This event will begin with time to explore the graphic novels, Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents, in the garden, followed by a group discussion and an opportunity to share your own book recommendations.

Light refreshments will be served and all registered guests may keep the graphic novels and take a plant home to nurture. Supplies are limited, registration is required.
