Weinberg/Newton Gallery, a non-commercial gallery dedicated to promoting the work of social justice causes, is proud to host this free virtual conversation in honor of International Women’s Day. The event will feature Mindy Uhrlaub, author of the recently released novel Unnatural Resources, in conversation with Rona Peligal, vice president of development at The Fund for Global Human Rights.

Uhrlaub and Peligal will explore the themes of women’s empowerment present in Unnatural Resources, the symbol of hope that the novel’s heroine embodies, as well as the human rights issues the DRC continues to face. The conversation will be followed by a participant Q&A, with Q&A participants given the opportunity to receive a free, signed copy of Unnatural Resources.
