Like Magic: Library Sale and Book Seance with Mandylion Press

Description

A book is a portal, a technology that enables a reader to cope in an unjust world. Books structure rituals; books bring back the dead. Join us as we say goodbye to our beloved Like Magic exhibition and conduct a one-day-only sale of the Like Magic Library that has been so popular with visitors. Curated over several years, the library represents myriad intellectual legacies, from Black and Indigenous studies to queer and feminist studies to primary source anthologies and science fiction, and has been admired by visitors to the exhibition since 2023. Many of these books are out of print and highly sought after, and the event concludes with a publisher showcase with Mandylion Press founders Madeline Porsella and Mabel Capability Taylor.
