by significant transitions—elections, conflicts abroad, environmental challenges, and more—how can we find our footing? Some authors turn to the past for guidance. They ponder questions, like: What defines us? What events shaped our journey? Where did it all begin? And what possibilities lie ahead? Come join us at the 47th Annual ODU Literary Festival as we honor writers who explore literature's power to anchor us, offering insights into our pasts to inspire visions of our futures. </p> <p><em>Marianne Chan and John McManus</em><br /><em>2024 Festival Co-directors</em></p> <p> </p> <p><strong>All events are free and open to the community!</strong></p> <p><em>Parking available in Constant Center/45th Street Garage for events in University Theatre.</em></p> <p>For more information, please contact the Old Dominion University English Department at (757) 683-3991 or email <a href="mailto:mfagpdassistant@odu.edu">mfagpdassistant@odu.edu</a>.</p> <p>Follow the Literary Festival on Facebook <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ODULitFest/">@ODULitFest</a> and on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/olddominionmfa/" target="_blank">@olddominionmfa</a></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="block block-layout-builder block-inline-blockcomponent-block"> <div class="field--name-field-component field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--accordion paragraph--id--11729221 paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="style-acc-headings"> <div id="accordion-11729221-2"> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading-11729216"> <h2 class="mb-0 "> <button class="btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-11729216" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-11729216"> <span>Sunday, October 6</span> </button> </h2> </div> <div id="collapse-11729216" class="content collapse " aria-labelledby="heading-11729216" data-parent=#accordion-11729221-2> <div class="card-body"> <h4>Opening Reception</h4> <p><strong>Time:</strong> 4 p.m.<br /><strong>Location:</strong> The Green Onion Restaurant, 1603 Colley Avenue</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading-11729246"> <h2 class="mb-0 "> <button class="btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-11729246" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-11729246"> <span>Monday, October 7</span> </button> </h2> </div> <div id="collapse-11729246" class="content collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-11729246" data-parent=#accordion-11729221-2> <div class="card-body"> <h4>MFA Faculty Readings: Luisa A.

Brown is a native of Kinston, North Carolina, where she remembers cleaning up on Saturday mornings as a child to the music of the Chi-Lites, Marvin Gaye, and Shirley Caesar. These rituals innately produced a strong desire in her to make all work melodic, sensual, meaningful and set to music. Brown has danced since she was released from the confines of piano lessons at age 9 and began navigating her way through narrow corridors of segregated understandings onto the stages of beautiful theaters, community centers, churches, classrooms, and cultural epiphanies. Brown has found the true meaning of grace. Her path of self- discovery has been influenced by trailblazers such as Chuck Davis, Bill T. Jones, Andrea E. Woods, Liz Lerman, Bebe Miller and Jawole Willa Jo Zollar. Through these conduits of movement matter she was given the opportunity, permission, and responsibility to move and move others. She is a warrior of change and transformation, living out experiences her double amputee father recounted from his war-ridden dreams. The melodies in her body are melancholic and brought to life through the music, seen rather than heard through her choreography. Brown combines her athleticism, creativity, love for people, and passion for teaching to create works that redefine the art of dance and the structure of the field.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading-11729406"> <h2 class="mb-0 default-heading"> <button class="btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-11729406" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-11729406"> <span>Yalie Saweda Kamara</span> </button> </h2> </div> <div id="collapse-11729406" class="content collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-11729406" data-parent=#accordion-11729416-9> <div class="card-body"> <div data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="505bb17e-e7f9-43b6-971a-cfd25efe3e30" data-langcode="en" class="align-right embedded-entity"><img width="200" height="160" src="/sites/default/files/images/yalie-saweda-kamara-headshot.jpg" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <p>Yalie Saweda Kamara is a Sierra Leonean-American writer, educator, and researcher from Oakland, California.

Before pivoting to writing, speaking, and consulting, Taussig taught passionately for almost a decade from freshmen in high school to upper-level college classes and continues to offer writing workshops.</p> <p>She is also one hell of a fighter on a mission to show that disabled people have incredible value; as she argues, a more inclusive world is a sturdier, kinder, more imaginative world for all of us.</p> <p>A storyteller at heart with a great sense of humor, Taussig invites us to think bigger and more critically about who has a seat at the table and the barriers that bar others from inclusion. She’s held talks and workshops at the University of Michigan, Davidson College and Yale University on disability representation, identity and community, and her writing appears in publications from <i>TIME </i>to <i>Refinery29</i>. She’s been a guest on a myriad of podcasts and also runs the Instagram platform @sitting_pretty, where she crafts “mini-memoirs” for her more than 50,000 followers to contribute nuance to the collective narratives being told about disability in our culture.

Her art often probes issues explored in her scholarship. Whitewash (focusing on empire and racial identity formation), Remainders (using remaindered copies of her monograph Altered Habits), and Habit (a visual reflection on her academic interests) are examples of how her two practices inform and expand each other. From the Heart, her current project, is at the intersection of personal experience with academic pursuits. In a series of paintings referencing love letters of famous writers contextualized within the trope of Portuguese Love, she offers a visual counterpart to the affirmation of sincere feeling she examines in her latest essay—and which, she argues, has remained part of Portuguese cultural identity for centuries.</p> <p>Originally from Porto, Portugal, Manuela has lived in the US for three decades. Her artwork has been exhibited internationally at venues like the Vienna Kunsthalle, in Austria, and regionally at various galleries in Virginia, including Target Gallery, Art Space, the Selden Offsite Gallery, the Charles H. Taylor Art Center, Lorrie Saunders Art Gallery, Virginia MOCA, the Sandler Center for the Arts, the Gallery at Pavilion II, the Neil Britton Gallery at Virginia Wesleyan University, the Vestibule at Chrysler Glass Studio, and d’Art Center.</p> <p>Her art has been featured in book covers, online journals, and is held in several private collections in the US.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="card"> <div class="card-header" id="heading-11729436"> <h2 class="mb-0 default-heading"> <button class="btn btn-link btn-block text-left collapsed" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#collapse-11729436" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-11729436"> <span>Beth Nguyen</span> </button> </h2> </div> <div id="collapse-11729436" class="content collapse" aria-labelledby="heading-11729436" data-parent=#accordion-11729446-2> <div class="card-body"> <drupal-entity data-align="right" data-embed-button="media_directories" data-entity-embed-display="entity_reference:media_directories_image_dimensions" data-entity-embed-display-settings="{"image_style":"","image_link":"","image_loading":{"attribute":"lazy"},"dimensions":{"image_width":"200","image_height":"253"}}" data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="2a25786f-1213-4b87-a0c1-ca5dc79dabc6" data-langcode="en"></drupal-entity> <p>Beth Nguyen is the author of the recent memoir Owner of a Lonely Heart, which was a New York Times Editors’ Choice Pick, as well as the memoir Stealing Buddha’s Dinner, and two novels.
