Nevada Humanities presents the Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl keynote event, featuring speaker Kiese Laymon, author of Heavy: An American Memoir. 

In Heavy, Kiese Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed, black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. A personal narrative that illuminates national failures, Heavy is defiant yet vulnerable, an insightful, often comical exploration of weight, identity, art, friendship, and family that begins with a confusing childhood—and continues through 25 years of haunting implosions and long reverberations. Heavy, shortlisted for the Andrew Carnegie Medal and the Kirkus Prize, was named one of the Best Books of 2018 by the New York Times and other publications. There will be a question and answer session following the reading and presentation, hosted by Dr. Nasia Anam. Heavy: An American Memoir is a 2019 Nevada Reads book. 

A book signing will follow the program. 

Laymon is the keynote speaker for the sixth annual Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl, which takes place on Saturday, September 14, throughout the California Avenue corridor.

This event is free and open to the public, but pre-registration is required. 

*Free admission to this program is sponsored by Nevada Humanities and the Nevada Museum of Art as part of the Nevada Humanities Literary Crawl

D.I.C.E. (Design, Innovation, Creativity, and Energy) brings together creatives, artists, and designers for a half-day symposium featuring speakers whose work celebrates and advocates the value of good design. Join us for D.I.C.E. 2019 as we explore the theme REDUX. While the ideas of the past are always revived, D.I.C.E. will delve into how design re-imagines and re-envisions those ideas, and fits them into contemporary environments. Without history and context, our world would not be as complex and interesting, and arguably, neither would design. 2019 D.I.C.E. presenters have been challenged to examine the concept of REDUX and how it is applied to the design process. 

As part of the symposium, D.I.C.E. will host a chair design competition that challenge designers to re-imagine the basic aluminum folding lawn chair, an easily recognizable with much the potential for evolution and innovation. For more information on D.I.C.E., the speakers and the chair competition, please visit designconferencenv.com
