He uses art as an instrument to highlight the beauty of Black and Brown people and to unpack the spectrum of feelings derived from their experiences. He believes that without the help of artistic expression\, the feelings of Black and Brown people are often flattened\, downplayed\, archetyped\, or simply limited by verbal or literal expression. Putting the full Black and Brown experience on display serves as a reminder for all that we are multidimensional\, brilliant\, invaluable human beings. It is the emotional argument to dismantle all forms of racism. \n  \n  \n  \n  URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/smuhammad/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:All Ages GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20261026T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20261026T103000 DTSTAMP:20261019T150011Z CREATED:20260828T142355Z LAST-MODIFIED:20261019T150011Z UID:10002369-1793008800-1793010600@baconfreelibrary.org SUMMARY:All Together: Preschool Storytime DESCRIPTION:Join us on Mondays and Tuesdays for stories and songs!

He befriends a British beekeeper who maintains a touching custom of “telling the bees” important news of the day. And he crunches through a German forest to find the official mailman of the only tree in the world with its own address – to which countless people from across the world have written in hopes of finding love. These are just some of the last custodians preserving age-old rites on the brink of disappearance against all odds. Let Eliot Stein introduce you to all of them. \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n\n \n \n Nonfiction Book Club Registration - October 2026\n \n \n your nameemail*\n \n \n Submit \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Δ URL:https://baconfreelibrary.org/event/nfoct26/ LOCATION:Bacon Free Library\, 58 Eliot Street\, Natick\, MA\, 01760\, United States CATEGORIES:Adult Events,Featured GEO:42.285064;-71.346109 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Bacon Free Library 58 Eliot Street Natick MA 01760 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=58 Eliot Street:geo:-71.346109,42.285064 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
