Book Launch & Talk
Please join us for an evening of conversation and celebration of the launch of Clara Oropeza’s new book, A Re-mapping of Womanhood and Creativity. Siri Chand will lead a discussion with the author regarding the relationship between mothers and daughters, the formation of the maternal wound, and ways to move towards healing.
In her book, Oropeza examines the pivotal role that a reconnection to a maternal line (literary and personal) has in shaping a woman’s creative life. This book proposes that synthesizing our intellectual, spiritual and ancestral ways of knowing, away from the harmful narratives that shape our lives, is essential today. With scholarly and personal insight, Oropeza sheds new light on how women come to shores of understanding themselves beyond unresolved familial and historical tensions.
