Mythologies: Stephanie Adams-Santos & Megan Kamalei Kakimoto

Portland Art Museum Miller Gallery 1119 SW Park Ave, Portland, United States

Stephanie Adams-Santos's incantatory long poem draws the reader into a dreamworld where the barrier between life and death grows porous, populated by ancestors and spirits. Megan Kamalei Kakimoto's debut story collection is a blazing, bodily, raucous journey through contemporary Hawaiian identity and womanhood. Moderated by Kayla Kumari Upadhyahya.
