Smart Communities
The Literary Freedom Project is committed to creating spaces that help elevate cultural narratives. Our programs value the variety of histories and cultures found in the Bronx and give educators & residents places to build community and explore social engagement.
Programs
One Book One Bronx hosts weekly restorative conversations related to gentrification, social justice, women’s empowerment, criminal justice, and racial inequality while (re)sparking a love of literature.
The Mosaic Literary Conference is an annual event that presents creative ways of keeping books and reading valuable sources of knowledge and creativity. The conference also produces Mosaic Literary Magazine.
LFP regularly hosts award-winning writers and poets. Author appearances have included Nicole Dennis-Benn, Willie Perdomo, Angie Cruz, and Tyehimba Jess among many others.
Lesson plans and workshops are designed to show how cultural and social engagement can serve as a connective tool to empower educators to use books and writing in the classroom.
