About this event
The Ping Pong Book Club is a unique gathering for AAPI individuals seeking connection through literature. Held at Woodland Pattern, this group delves into works by female, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ authors, creating a rich tapestry of voices and perspectives. Led by Milwaukee artist Nomka Enkhee, the club encourages open dialogue and shared experiences, making it a meaningful way to engage with both literature and community.
This club meets every other Tuesday, providing a consistent opportunity to explore new ideas and foster relationships. Currently reading "We The Gathered Heat," the group offers a thoughtful exploration of themes relevant to its members. Whether you're an avid reader or just looking to connect with others, the Ping Pong Book Club is a welcoming space for all.
From the organizer
The Ping Pong Book Club invites AAPI people to read together in an environment of solace and nourishment—to connect and share in conversation through literature, especially during times of distress. Our goal is to exchange thoughts, experiences, and feelings among one another, a back-and-forth, like table tennis, or simply ping pong. The reading material will focus on fiction and nonfiction literature specifically by female, BIPOC, and LGBTQIA+ writers, with a focus on art and artists writings. The Ping Pong Book Club is led by artist Nomka Enkhee, who lives and works in Milwaukee. The group is currently reading We The Gathered Heat, edited by Franny Choi, Bao Phi, Noʻu Revilla, & Terisa Siagatonu.
