2021 CTWF: Saturday Night at the Festival

Cabot Trail Writers Festival Society

An evening of music, author conversations, and live painting

Alexander Graham Bell National Historic Site

Our evening program will take place at the Water Hall at the Bell Museum. It will include the following events: • 7:30 p.m.: &quot;The Thing With Feathers&quot;: The Role of Hope in Life &amp; Art A panel conversation hosted by Alexander MacLeod, featuring Donna Morrissey, Christy-Ann Conlin and Jon Tattrie. The past year and a half has made hope more precious, more challenging, and more scarce for many. This conversation might explore the nature of the relationship, in the authors&#x27; most recent books, between hope and the past—between what Emily Dickinson called “the thing with feathers” and healing, recovery or progress. Or whether authors face pressure to seek out stories of hope or resolve fictional stories in a way that facilitates hope... or where, in a time of multiple collective crises, the authors themselves have found hope.• 8:30 p.m.: A Conversation with Francesca EkwuyasiAlexander MacLeod will interview Francesca Ekwuyasi about her writing process and her work.• 9:30 p.m.: Music by Shawnee Paul &amp; Brian Doyle and Live Painting by Alan SyliboyAlan Syliboy will create a painting on stage, set to a background of live music performed by Shawnee Paul &amp; Brian Doyle.
