The Seventeenth Annual Queer Girls Literary Reading, a series started in 2009 by Lori Horvitz, Professor Emeritus of English at UNC Asheville. For the first six years, the yearly event, a celebration of Asheville’s queer literary women—including local and regional writers of varying ages, identities, races and abilities, took place in the library at the Phil Mechanic Studios in the River Arts District. Because of the growing interest and need for a larger venue, The Mothlight, Rabbit Rabbit, and Tyger Tyger Gallery have hosted the event in the past. Lockie Hunter, organizer of the Juniper Bends Reading Series, joined Horvitz in organizing the event eleven years ago. This year’s lineup includes local and regional writers, UNCA students, and community members.

Ugandan musician Chinobay and blind born singer-songwriter Jordan Scheffer create a powerful musical conversation that bridges continents, traditions, and genres. Rooted in African rhythms, storytelling, and global fusion, their performances weave together the warm, expressive voice of Jordan Scheffer with Chinobay’s masterful musicianship on instruments including the Kora, Kalimba, Endongo, and Talking drum. Together, they offer an experience that is both deeply intimate and joyfully alive — blending Afro-funk, folk, soul, and world music into a sound that feels borderless. Their connection on stage is built on mentorship, friendship, and a shared belief in music as a force for healing, cultural exchange, and connection.
Join us for a powerful afternoon of rhythm, culture, and artistry that resonates deep within the soul. Part of our Afro Rhythm series produced by Chinobay and White Horse Black Mountain.
