A special collaboration between Bushwick Book Club Oakland and the Bay Area Book Fest. What happens when visionary worldbuilding meets movement building? In this rare and unmissable conversation, acclaimed novelist Nnedi Okorafor, whose Africanfuturist fiction reshapes the boundaries of speculative literature, sits down with legendary organizer Marshall Ganz, architect of modern grassroots leadership models. Guided by co-founder of Wakanda Dream Lab Calvin Williams, the conversation will travel across story and structure, imagination and power. Together, they will ask: How do the stories we tell determine the futures we fight for? How does organizing become a living narrative of hope and resistance? And how can collective imagination move us closer to liberation? This will be a gathering of minds that reminds us that crafting worlds and building movements are acts born of the same radical impulse: to dream together, and remake what has been made. https://www.bushwickbookcluboakland.com/upcoming-events/hope-is-a-time-traveler monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a11503021e07042d62376a7/7fd2bf06-04c7-48da-a776-415d11b3cf56/260530_-Solnit-Williams-George-_7_00-IG-scaled.jpg Upcoming Events - BBCO @ Bay Area Book Fest | Hope is a Time Traveler - BBCO Artist, Origin Stories, opens for a conversation between Rebecca Solnit and Saul Williams, moderated by Christie George.

A special collaboration between Bushwick Book Club Oakland and the Bay Area Book Fest. “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” (Audre Lorde), but the tools that have been used for dismantling in the past might just be the ones we use to build the future. For Octavia Butler, science fiction stories were her tools for speculating the devolution of the American empire and simultaneously offered cautionary tales about our propensity for violence and sanguine manifestations that alter our current paradigms and envision Black women at the center of the world. https://www.bushwickbookcluboakland.com/upcoming-events/what-haunts-us-still monthly 0.5 2026-05-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a11503021e07042d62376a7/07f4a6ee-4c83-44f8-9fcb-0ec09a9c48b3/260531_-Jones-Due-Everett_5_30-IG-scaled.jpg Upcoming Events - BBCO @ Bay Area Book Fest | What Haunts Us Still: Surviving and Storytelling - A special collaboration between Bushwick Book Club Oakland and the Bay Area Book Fest.
