Since 2018, our project DRIN – Visions for Children’s Books has attempted to address questions on diversity, representation, inclusion and norm critique in children's literature. Join us in a reading session of a collection of stories celebrating the topics of DRIN for 4-6 year olds by artist and reader-mediator, Kemê. The reading will be in English.

The DRIN celebration day will continue with a presentation and panel discussion based on our other activities in the evening.
