Voices of Freedom reading at Toronto Reference Library

An evening of inspiration and storytelling from the PEN Writers in Exile

This edition of Voices of Freedom (a reading series going 3-years strong) brings together powerful voices from across the globe—representing Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.

✍️ This edition will feature Atefeh Khademolreza (Iran), Onder Deligoz (Turkey), and more.

📍 For this special 10th edition of the reading series, we’ve moved to a new location: the Toronto Reference Library. The library is a 2-minute walk north of Bloor-Yonge Subway Station, and is wheelchair accessible. Find us on the first floor, in a room called Beeton Hall.
