A Taste of Octavia’s Parables
May 9, 2023 @ 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm
Discussing relationships to change and collective survival. Tasting autumn harvest cookies from The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen.
Join us at Blackwell Library for a unique treat and discussion about relationships to change and collective survival as explored in Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower and Parable of the Talents.
In the dystopian future of Butler’s Parables, protagonist, Lauren Oya Olamina, enjoys an Indigenous recipe for acorn bread. In lieu of acorn bread, we will prepare autumn harvest cookies from The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen.
Find that book and others by Octavia E. Butler at the Free Library of Philadelphia.
