Tarea Hall Pittman South Branch

THPS Branch Meeting Room

A conversation on Black horror, healing, history, and how speculative storytelling can help us imagine liberation.

Join Sistah Scifi and the Berkeley Public Library for an evening exploring how Black horror can be used as a tool for Black healing—confronting trauma, reclaiming suppressed histories, and imagining new possibilities for liberation.

Featuring a conversation with Black writers and cultural workers, the program will examine how horror gives language to personal and collective fears while creating space for resilience, transformation, and hope.
