In the tradition of Toronto’s historic Bohemian Embassy — a legendary ‘’60s coffee house that welcomed icons like Margaret Atwood, Gordon Lightfoot and Lorne Michaels when they were fresh faces — the Toronto International Festival of Authors presents The New Embassy, a five-part digital series spotlighting the next generation of history-shapers and storytellers. Tune in to see powerful work by BIPOC creators, including Erica Violet Lee, a Cree poet, musician and artist;, Courage Bacchus, an actor and deaf Olympian; , Kai Cheng Thom, an award-winning author, performer and queer healer; and more.
