Pan Tèrra is a Nigerian singer, songwriter and producer raised across the UK, Nigeria, Hong Kong and the United States. Her self-coined sound, ‘nomadic soul-pop’, weaves together psychedelic soul, funk, afro-pop and musical theatre into a fresh and distinctly global sound that could only come from a life lived across continents.

Pan Tèrra double majored in Computer Science and Music at Brown University, where she was awarded the prestigious Jean and Francis Madeira Award for Excellence in Music. She went on to build a parallel career as a software engineer at Apple while quietly becoming one of the most compelling independent voices in music. Her 2024 single ‘Eve’ accumulated over 500,000 streams on Spotify, announced her as a serious force in independent music, and set the stage for what was to come. When her music started gaining real momentum, she made the decision to go all in.

Natalie Adler’s debut novel, Waiting on a Friend, and Alejandro Varela’s latest, Middle Spoon, portray q***r New York in two very different eras. Adler’s protagonist is a young le***an living in the East Village at the height of the AIDS epidemic, while Varela’s is a gay husband and father in contemporary Brooklyn who leads a secure middle-class life yet longs for sexual liberation.

Both stories depict profound heartbreak, yet they are rich in humor and fearless in their depiction of how sexual politics infuses all of our relationships—even those we have with the ghosts of people we’ve lost far too soon. Their conversation will be moderated by Michelle Axelson, owner of Provincetown’s iconic Womencrafts.

Phantoms & Freedoms: Q***r Stories in Fiction | Natalie Adler, Alejandro Varela, & Michelle Axelson | Thursday, June 11 at 6pm | $20 Suggested Donation

All proceeds from this event benefit in celebration of their 50th anniversary!

What drives people to crime, on the page and beyond it? In this spirited conversation, two bestselling authors explore the art of and rationale for writing about murder and mayhem.

Margot Douaihy, whose Sister Holiday hardboiled series follows an unlikely nun-sleuth through the understory of New Orleans, discusses her latest novel, Divine Ruin, a mystery that confronts the fentanyl epidemic. William Mann presents his groundbreaking investigation The Black Dahlia: Murder, Monsters, and Madness in Midcentury Hollywood, the definitive account of America’s most famous unsolved murder.

Together, Douaihy and Mann examine what it means to write crime narratives (fiction and nonfiction) with conscience and aesthetic edge.
