SUMMARY:Virtual Event: Suyi Davies Okungbowa and Rebecca Roanhorse
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Friday\, May 21 at 6pm PT when Suyi Davies Okungbowa discusses his latest book\, Son of the Storm\, with Rebecca Roanhorse on Zoom!\n\nZoom Login Info\nPlease click the link below to join the webinar:\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/89187601455\n\nPraise for Son of the Storm\n“A mesmerizing coming of age tale set against a thrilling\, fantastical adventure that introduces a beguiling new world…and then rips apart everything you think you know.” —S. A. Chakraborty\, author of City of Brass\n\n“It’s always refreshing to find fantasies that break with all the old conventions and tropes\, and Son of the Storm delivers on this like a flash of lightning in the dark! Set in a deftly craftedworld of forbidden sorcery\, magical beasts\, and fractured polities\, this tale follows three characters whose seemingly disparate journeys are set for a collision course that will rewrite the fate of whole peoples and empires. Suyi Davies Okungbowa has created an original and fully conceived new world of fantasy teeming with brilliant possibilities and demanding to be explored!”—P. Djeli Clark\, author of A Master of Djinn\n\n“Okungbowa’s world feels fully formed from the first pages\, sweeping readers away into an elaborately plotted tale of ancient magics and world-shattering politics. I\, like many others\, will be impatiently waiting for the next installment!”—Andrea Stewart\, author of The Bone Shard Daughter\n\n“Everything I love in a fantasy novel. Damn good stuff!” —Jenn Lyons\, author of The Ruin of Kings\n\nAbout Son of the Storm\nFrom one of the most exciting new storytellers in epic fantasy\, Son of the Storm is a sweeping tale of violent conquest and forgotten magic set in a world inspired by the pre-colonial empires of West Africa.\n\nIn the ancient. city of Bassa\, Danso is a clever scholar on the cusp of achieving greatness—only he doesn’t want it. Instead\, he prefers to chase forbidden stories about what lies outside the city walls. The Bassai elite claim there is nothing of interest. The city’s immigrants are sworn to secrecy.\n\nBut when Danso stumbles across a warrior wielding magic that shouldn’t exist\, he’s put on a collision course with Bassa’s darkest secrets. Drawn into the city’s hidden history\, he sets out on a journey beyond its borders. And the chaos left in the wake of his discovery threatens to destroy the empire.

SUMMARY:Alice Sparkly Kat on Postcolonial Astrology
DESCRIPTION:Astrologer and author Alice Sparkly Kat is ushering in a new wave of astrology that is intersectional\, inclusive\, and geared towards queer and POC communities. In their cross-cultural approach to understanding astrology as a magical language\, Alice uses our historical and collective constructs of the planets\, sun\, and moon to re-chart our subconscious history\, redefine the body in the world\, and assert our politics of the personal. \nAlice believes that too often\, magic and astrology are divorced from their potency and cultural contexts: co-opted by neoliberalism\, used as a force of oppression\, or distilled beyond recognition into applications that belie their individual and collective power. Dedicated to unmasking the political power of astrology\, Alice shows how it can be channeled as a force for collective healing and liberation. \nJoin educator\, creator\, and astrologer Kirah Tabourn for a conversation with Alice Sparkly Kat on their work and their latest book\, Postcolonial Astrology. Kirah and Alice share insights into ways we can use astrology to challenge our own practices\, interrogate our truths\, and reshape our institutions to build better frameworks for communities of care. \nFree\, suggested donation of $10. \nhttps://www.ciis.edu/public-programs/event-calendar/kat-sparkly-alice-may-21-2021 ppforte@ciis.edu 415-575-6175
