Join us to launch Next Indiana Campfires, a statewide series that pairs literature and nature to help Hoosiers explore Indiana’s wild places and spark conversations about stewardship and the legacies we’ll leave for future generations.

On Wednesday, May 4, we’re hosting an INconversation with nationally acclaimed environmental authors Terry Tempest Williams and Scott Russell Sanders at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art. Williams, a Guggenheim Fellow and titan of environmental literature, has been called a “citizen writer” for her fierce advocacy of freedom of speech about environmental issues. The conversation will be moderated by Sanders, whose own writing about the hills and forests of southern Indiana continues the tradition of essential Hoosier nature writers like Gene Stratton-Porter and Edwin Way Teale. 

EVENT DETAILS:
Doors open: 6:30 p.m.
Mix and mingle: 6:30- 7 p.m.
INconversation: 7 – 8:30 p.m.
Book signing: 8:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 (includes a drink voucher). It’s sure to be an indelible evening of provocative ideas and surprising conversation!
