- **Event Name**: Cole Sarar's SciFi Reading Hour
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 05 Apr, 2026 at 07:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: A live reading series featuring original science fiction from Cole and special guest writers, underscored with futurist soundscapes by accomplished musicians. Two writers spin original science fiction, and one musician underscores the readings with complementary auditory landscapes. We focus on Science Fiction so that we as a society are consciously building our futures, to see and talk about ourselves and each other in new ways- to see people of color, women, queer folks, and immigrants in the future- to show all of us in positions of power, and to show different ways of leading, etc. Science fiction examines not only the effects of continuing to mistreat the planet, humans, plants, and animals; but also envisions new ways of doing things (and remembers ancient ways of doing and being in the future).

April 5, featuring:

Cesar Montufar was an award-winning educator who taught English for twenty-four years in impoverished communities of color in California and Minnesota. He was a long- time union volunteer, spent years working in the labor world, and has been a social activist for the better part of the last two-and-half decades, though his current battles are mostly in the query trenches of the publishing industry.

Martin Law is a Minneapolis-based musician and scholar. Over the past three decades he has contributed sounds to a variety of projects for film, radio, podcasts, art installations, live performances, psychoacoustic research, and for an esteemed local SciFi Reading Hour. Martin owes his academic career to Yanni (yes, THAT Yanni), to Jodi, and to accidentally insulting his boss's taste in music that one time--- an incident which can be recounted only in the form of a shaggy dog story. He has taught courses on speech, rhetoric, ethics, and cultural studies at colleges and universities across the country. His current scholarship on Blackness and disability highlights the power of fugitive speech to rescue radical futures.
