[Reforma_or] Destino y Frontera: Una Discusión En Español at the Portland Book Festival

[Violeta GARZA]

¡Amigxs!

The Portland Book Festival
<https://literary-arts.org/what-we-do/pdxbookfest/> (formerly called
Wordstock) is hosting its first-ever all-Spanish discussion. Authors Luis
Alberto Urrea and Ingrid Rojas Contreras will host Destino y frontera: una
discusión en español
<https://literary-arts.org/event/destino-y-frontera-una-discusion-en-espanol/>.
It's on November 10th, 3:30-4:30, at the Brunish Theatre in downtown
Portland.

My hope is that one day, an event like this would be free to the public.
For now, though, youth ages 17 and under get in free. Those older will have
to get a festival pass for $15, which includes access to the festival,
admission to the Portland Art Museum for that day, and a $5 book voucher to
any book they have on sale.

They are looking for volunteers
<https://literary-arts.org/what-we-do/pdxbookfest/volunteer-sign-form/>,
and one cool thing is they're trying to get teen volunteers ages 16+.
Message from their volunteer coordinator: "One moment they may be working a
line at a venue, the next helping with author signing, to then moving to
the box office if needed." This is just me, but how amazing would it be for
a Spanish-speaking teen volunteer to get this kind of experience? To get
more info, you can email volunteer at literary-arts.org.

Please share with your networks so that this event is so successful that
they'll want to do more.

Con mucho cariño,
Violeta
