Milkweed Presents: Found Ancestry with K. Iver

K. Iver hosts a talk with Danez Smith, Eli Erlick, and Dorothy Chan about searching for lineage outside the families into which we are born: the mentor, the barber, the historical figure, the queer “uncle,” the unapologetic pop star. Together, they’ll explore how these sources can and do stitch belonging where it’s been severed.
