Hello ARLIS,

 

As so many of you are familiar with Al-Mutanabbi Street Starts Here project and the artwork it has inspired, I wanted to share the list of readings happening this coming weekend and beyond to mark the 12^th anniversary of the bombing. There are 27 planned events around the world, and there might be one happening in your town, so I hope you’ll be able to go!
