During Women’s History month a constellation of events brought together a group of fabulous womxn+ writers. The meeting of these hearts and minds exploded into something powerful and a new monthly reading series concept was born, Eves at the Beat. That was back in March. Eves at the Beat is now a monthly first Thursday reading series at The Beat Museum with occasional readings in Kerouac Alley featuring womxn and non-binary people. Each first Thursday there’s a new curator and MC invited from the previous month. This gives many people the opportunity to step into these roles and make the culture of the readings more equitable and circular, rather than hierarchal. The series was created by Cassandra Rockwood Rice Ganem and is overseen by Rice Ganem and Nicole Henares.
