Grammy-winning musician, feminist icon, and groundbreaking artist Ani DiFranco joins us live in Chicago for an intimate conversation about creativity, spirituality, and the lifelong work of making art that transforms.

In her new book, The Spirit of Ani, created in collaboration with author and anthropologist Lauren Coyle Rosen, Ani opens a rare window into her inner world, sharing reflections on consciousness, gender and queer politics, the music industry, climate anxiety, and the personal rituals that fuel her creative life. Featuring previously unpublished journal entries, lyrics, photographs, and song-birth sheets, the book reveals Ani at her most candid and expansive.

Together, Ani and Lauren will explore the themes at the heart of their collaboration: the interconnectedness of all consciousness, the evolution of an artist’s voice, and the power of music and storytelling to challenge, heal, and awaken.

This is a unique opportunity to encounter Ani DiFranco as you’ve never seen her: thoughtful, bold, and deeply engaged with the world around her.

Ani DiFranco and Lauren Coyle Rosen will be signing books following the event.
