Hey everyone, can you believe it’s been a whole decade since The Wild Detectives first opened its doors? Time flies when you’re having fun, and boy, have we had a blast. From the get-go, we’ve thrown ourselves into all sorts of events – music gigs, literary talks, storytelling nights – you name it. It’s been a wild ride, and we’re nowhere near done.
So, guess what? We’re teaming up with Deep Vellum Publishing to throw a massive party, celebrating not just our 10th anniversary but theirs too! This isn’t just any party. We’re talking three days packed with everything that makes The Wild Detectives and Deep Vellum the places we all love. DJ Christy Ray is gonna be there, spinning some killer tracks. Then there’s Velada Vinilo, where your vinyl could steal the show, and Afro Perreo, where the beats will have you dancing non-stop. Baba Kuboye‘s bringing his incredible Afrobeat vibes, and we’re also stoked to have Ukrainian author Oksana Lutsyshyna share her stories with us. Oh, and keep your eyes peeled for a surprise poetry pop-up that’s sure to knock your socks off.
