The Scene of the Crime: A Harlem Mystery with Nekesa Afia
Nekesa Afia
In this interactive literary event, Nekesa Afia invites the audience into the craft of suspicion. Through reading, clues, audience prompts, and live discussion, The Scene of the Crime turns the room into a case file and asks what mystery fiction teaches us about place, character, motive, and attention. Part reading, part craft session, and part live whodunit.
