An Evening with Jamaica Kincaid

Join us for “An Evening with Jamaica Kincaid,” featuring the acclaimed writer and Fall 2025 Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. In this intimate conversation, Kincaid will reflect on her body of work from the 1970s to the present day, its exploration of enduring themes such as Black life and culture, the history of colonialism especially in the Caribbean, gardens, her mother and herself as they appear in books like At the Bottom of the River, In a Small Place, or The Autobiography of My Mother. She will also speak about the creative process that continues to shape her writing. The discussion offers an opportunity to engage with one of contemporary literature’s most influential voices and to meet a writer whose fiction and non-fiction is frequently taught in classes at Bard College Berlin. The conversation will be followed by a drinks reception.
