Forbidden: Too Punk/Too Queer—2017 PEN World Voices Festival
Carrie Brownstein (Hunger Makes Me A Modern Girl/Portlandia) and Thomas Meinecke (Tomboy)—both musicians and authors—discuss what it means to be heard, loudly, in this recording from the 2017 PEN World Voices Festival. This event was moderated by Kathy Tu.
This event was co-presented with the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space at WNYC.
