SUMMARY:Resisting Erasure through Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Clark County Historical Museum\, Fourth Plain Forward\, and Humanities Washington invite the community to an engaging in-person conversation with Putsata Reang\, a member of the 2024-2025 Humanities Washington Speakers Bureau program\, on Thursday\, June 6\, 2024. This month’s CCHM Speaker Series presentation will take place at Fourth Plain Community Commons (3101 E 4th Plain Blvd Ste.101\, Vancouver\, WA 98661.) \nDoors open at 6:30 pm. Presentation begins at 7:00 pm. \nWhen Putsata Reang was eight years old\, she didn’t understand why her skin was brown when almost all of her classmates’ skin was white. So she put an eraser to her arm and began to rub\, hoping to become white. A decade later\, feeling disoriented by the dawning realization that she is gay\, Putsata put a razor to her wrist. But ultimately she was too ashamed to end her own life. That’s because when she was a baby\, and her family fled war in her native Cambodia\, her mother had saved her life. \nToday\, an increasing number of Americans like Putsata are at risk of erasure because of external forces such as anti-LGBTQ+ legislation\, and internal forces\, such as shame and discrimination. Putsata discusses the dangers of dwelling on differences and encourages audiences to share their personal stories as an antidote to erasure. \nPutsata Reang (she/her) is an author and journalist whose debut memoir\, Ma and Me\, was awarded the 2023 Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association prize for nonfiction and was recognized as a finalist for the 2023 Lambda Literary Award. Her writing has appeared in publications including the New York Times\, Ms. magazine\, Politico\, and The Guardian. Reang has held several prestigious residencies and was a fellow of the Jack Straw Writers program and Alicia Patterson Foundation for journalists. \nThe CCHM Speaker Series season is sponsored by the Clark County Historic Preservation Commission. This month’s presentation is co-hosted with Fourth Plain Forward and brought to you by Humanities Washington. Admission is free and open to all. \nFor more information\, contact the museum at 360-993-5679 or outreach@cchmuseum.org.
