✨ Envision our future. Ask yourself: how can we collectively shift these existing sociopolitical structures? What can I personally do? How can we disrupt? This is S7: futurisms. ✨

In the face of inflation and growing social insecurity, it's important to us at Riverbed that our rates remain competitive and fair. Even with the support of funding partners like SAW, the League of Canadian Poets, and the City of Ottawa, each iteration costs our collective just over $2,000 to run. Please consider a donation today (anything helps) and support our next season. Help us get to $6k today!

Riverbed Reading Series is an inclusive, experimental gathering space at the intersection of literature, music, and performance. We are driven by the belief that the artist spheres are connected and look forward to welcoming everyone (whether in person or online) to our contemporary cabaret.

Riverbed Reading Series is co-curated by Ellen Chang-Richardson and nina jane drystek, with support from Joseph Mathieu, Kate Stoysich and our curatorial mentees. For more information on our series, visit our website or follow us on social media @riverbedreads.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about Riverbed and for contributing if you are able. No matter where you go after this, we hope you will continue to support artists and organizers, wherever you may be.
