Seats are offered on a first come\, first served basis\; please arrive early to secure a spot.\n\nTisa Bryant’s writing explores Black women’s subjectivity by remixing rhetorical\, literary\, cinematic and visual arts techniques into original modes of narrative and storytelling.  Her latest book\, *Residual*\, is an assemblage of the interiors of grief\, the home as archive\, and the mystery of mothers\, published by Nightboat Books in 2026. Her first book\, *Unexplained Presence*\, on the mythologies of Black presences in the arts\, was reissued by Wave Books in 2024. In her afterword to *Unexplained Presence*\, renowned critic Margo Jefferson hailed Tisa as a “literary and film auteur\, an auteur of performance on the page\, stage and screen or canvas.” \n\nA Boston native\, Tisa was a member of the Dark Room Collective\, an African-diasporic writing group that hosted a celebrated reading series in Cambridge and Boston.  She is co-editor of the three-volume\, cross-referenced literary journal\, *The Encyclopedia Project*\, and collaborated from 2015-2018 with critic and writer Ernest Hardy on *The Black Book*\, an original talk and film series presented at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Tisa is editor of *Deep West Assembly*\, a monograph of recent works by the award-winning visual artist Cauleen Smith\, forthcoming in 2026 from Astrup Fearnley Museet and Kestner Gesellschaft.
