Narrative 4 Summer of Impact presents “Apeirogon”
Narrative 4 is pleased to launch a Summer of Impact with Apeirogon, an event designed to highlight the mission and work of Narrative 4 through great literature. Watch New York Times best-selling author and N4 co-founder, Colum McCann, in conversation with Bassam Aramin and Rami Elhanan, the two main, real life characters in McCann’s new novel, Apeirogon.
The event is moderated by N4 student ambassadors Malak Lahham from Nazareth, Israel, and Sinead O’Reilly from Wexford, Ireland. World renowned violinist, Colm Mac Con Iomaire, makes a special appearance to perform music he wrote and recorded based on the novel’s themes.
Featured Summer of Impact events include: interactive music and literature performances, virtual story exchanges on a variety of topics, an experiential “Empathy-into-Action” project designed by students and educators in South Africa, workshops with partner institutional administrators, and much, much more!
The Narrative 4 Summer of Impact is generously underwritten by Karen Hollins and The Elizabeth Foundation.
