“Maybe the fingernail in the flesh is your dream too, now that loving and staying away are newly conjoined.” – Maria Tumarkin
For our 2021 Festival, an all-star line-up of guests came together to deliver a speech on the Festival theme, Within Reach. Speakers celebrated the power of writing to generate empathy, imagination and action. In this moving highlight, cultural historian and novelist Maria Tumarkin (Axiomatic) muses on the blurred boundaries between personal and shared space in a world of colonial theft, social distancing measures and rolling crises.
