It’s about that time again to attend the Fire & Ink Conference. This year the conference will be held in Detroit and the theme is Witness.
“Generations do not cease to be born, and we are responsible to them because we are the only witnesses they have.”—James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time
Fire & Ink IV: Witness will address the urgent question of what it means to bear witness as LGBTQ and SGL writers of African descent and heritage in the 21st century. Merriam-Webster offers these definitions of “witness”: One that gives evidence. One who is present at an event and can say that it happened. One who testifies in a cause. An attestation of fact. One who has personal knowledge of something. Public affirmation by word or example of usually religious faith or conviction. We invite Black LGBTQ and SGL writers and artists to assay their own definitions of witness.
