With Lana Spendl, Samrat Upadhyay, Marianne Villanueva, and Olga Zilberbourg. This panel explores memory as a borderland in immigrant narratives, across both fiction and creative nonfiction, focusing on how personal, familial, and collective memory shapes identity across geographies. Writers from Bosnia, China, Nepal, the Philippines, and Russia examine memory as both refuge and burden, with some also reimagining ways of being through the interplay of memory, migration, and queerness.
