# Event Details - **Event Name**: Lana Lin: Cancer Journals Revisited Film Screening & Conversation - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 23 Jun, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: Please join us in welcoming Lana Lin for the Cancer Journals Revisited Film Screening & ConversationAbout this EventThe Cancer Journals Revisited is prompted by the question of what it means to re-visit and re-vision Black lesbian feminist poet Audre Lorde’s classic 1980 memoir of her breast cancer experience today. At the invitation of the filmmaker, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, twenty-seven writers, artists, activists, health care advocates, and current and former patients recite Lorde’s manifesto aloud on camera, collectively dramatizing it and producing an oration for the screen. The film is both a critical commentary and a poetic reflection upon the precarious conditions of survival within the intimate and politicized public sphere of illness.Lana LinLana Lin is a writer and multidisciplinary artist based in New York and Connecticut.
