Rebe Huntman in conversation with Dr. Christopher Fink
Wednesday, March 5 | 6 pm
Delaware Main Library
In this intimate conversation with Dr. Christopher Fink of Ohio Wesleyan University, author Rebe Huntman offers a window into the extraordinary world of Afro-Cuban gods and ghosts and the dances and rituals that call them forth. As she explores the memory of her own mother, interlacing it with her search for the sacred feminine, Huntman leads us into a world of séance and sacrifice, pilgrimage and sacred dance, which resurrect her mother and bring Huntman face to face with a larger version of herself.
Immerse yourself in Cuban food, music and images directly from Cuba in this entertaining evening. Books may be pre-purchased at a 20% discount through the Friends of the Library. Pre-orders are also available on Beanbag Books’ website, and Beanbag Books will be on hand to sell copies of the book at the event.
