Tumblr Meetups

TNI Co-Hosts Lapham’s Live: The Future!

thenewinquiry:

Mark your calendars! The New Inquiry is collaborating with Lapham’s Quarterly and Tumblr for a special event on Monday, September 19 at powerHouse Arena in Brooklyn.  

laphamsquarterly:

The Future is coming…and so is our Future launch party, hosted by two venerable instutions: The New Inquiry and Tumblr itself. (We’re honored!)

We’re trying something a little different this time, we want YOU to be a part of the readings. Simply submit a historical reading of less that 500 words about The Future to the LQ Tumblr. If we pick you as one of our favorites, we’ll have you read at the event. If you can’t make it, we’re always happy to reblog your selection. 

SUBMIT now! And pencil in the party, Monday, September 19th @ 7pm, at the powerHouse Arena in Dumbo. 

This experimental event is based on The New Inquiry’s salon, run out of Brazenhead Books. Every week, TNI invites attendees to come prepared with a selected passage to read based on an announced theme. This event format allows us to publish an ongoing series of thematic, crowdsourced archives on Tumblr (such as Un(der)known Writers, and Fringe Feminists), complementing the submissions we receive online through our open invitation form.  

Lapham’s launch party for “The Future” marks the first-ever public version of this event! Submit your archival selection on “the future” for a chance to be chosen as a featured reader at the live event or have your excerpt published by Lapham’s Quarterly. Who knows? It might even make a cameo on The New Inquiry. 

See you there!
