Event details

In celebration of the life of Sarah Hegazi, two years after her tragic death, join us for a loving Pride reading in New York. Guest editor Mariam Bazeed will be joined by authors from the special tribute publication I Want Sky to read in a garden space for this in-person event. There will also be an open mic. Reading is free and attendees will receive a free copy of I Want Sky. We’ll have water and cups and you’re welcome to bring your own beverages.

Seating is very limited and RSVP is required. Full address will be shared upon RSVP.

COVID SAFETY: This is an outdoor event in order to be COVID safe. Guests will be asked to mask when using the indoor bathrooms.

OPEN MIC: We’ll be kicking off the Mizna/AAWW backyard reading for Sarah Hegazi with an Open Mic! We hope you’ll help us warm up the stage. Sign up to share readings, music, and performances of all kinds. Read more about it and sign up for an open mic slot here.

RAIN PLAN: In case of inclement weather, we will mice the reading inside at the same location. In that case, guests will be required to wear masks.
