Haunted: Ghost Stories as Social Justice, a Reading

Wednesday, June 11th, 2025

4:00 PM - 5:30 PM

Price: Free

SOMOS Salon & Bookshop

Exploring “haunting” as a metaphor for social justice in narratives of violence, loss, and trauma, this public reading by two authors—one a writer of fiction and one a writer of creative nonfiction—will explore the theme of “Ghost Stories as Social Justice.” Weaving grief, terror, and the art of storytelling with the desire to know the unknowable, we will demonstrate and explore the concept of haunting as memory and how haunted memories can live in our bodies but also transform trauma through narrative avenues of healing while leading to social justice by giving voice to the voiceless. Social justice for survivors and victims of violence may be illuminated and represented through the power of trauma narratives weaving the real and the speculative in innovative and experimental ways. Join us for a non/fiction reading followed by a Q and A.
