On the EVENT Blog: Community Matters at Growing Ro On the EVENT Blog: Community Matters at Growing Room 2020: Hannah Macready Interviews Jessica Johns— “The future is queer. The future is Indigenous. The future is Black. The future is artists of colour. The original storytellers have never been a part of CanLit; we were never invited, were never allowed to be. So while the trash-fire of CanLit burns on, we’re warming our hands on it and walking away in the footsteps of our community members who have been clearing the way for us for years and years. I hope places like the Growing Room festival, or what I think Growing Room to be, is a place we can all walk to show up as ourselves and just celebrate the fuck out of each other.” Click the link in our bio to read more!
