Join Lauren Markham at the Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene, Brooklyn on Thursday, March 14 at 7:30pm for an insightful and thought-provoking book event. Lauren Markham will present her latest work, A Map of Future Ruins: On Borders and Belonging, in conversation with author Kirstin Chen. This mesmerizing synthesis of reporting, history, memoir, and essay challenges our understanding of migration and its impact on society.

A Map of Future Ruins delves into the stories we tell about migration, revealing their predictive power and their role in shaping the future. Markham explores the criminalization of migration, the significance of ancient Greece in Western ideology, and the role of nostalgia in the exclusion and demonization of migrants today. Drawing from her personal journey to Greece in 2021, where she sought to uncover her own Greek heritage and report on the aftermath of a devastating fire at a refugee camp, Markham uncovers a narrative that spans centuries and intertwines with myth.

Don't miss this opportunity to hear Lauren Markham discuss her work with fellow author Kirstin Chen, followed by a reading and book signing. This event promises to be an enlightening exploration of borders, belonging, and the power of storytelling. Admission is free, so mark your calendar and join us at Greenlight Bookstore in Fort Greene for an evening that will challenge your perspectives and leave you with a deeper understanding of the complexities of migration.
