Please join Twenty Summers and Cape Cod Compass for ‘The Language of Belonging’ — a discussion about the experience of coming to Cape Cod, being on Cape Cod, and belonging on Cape Cod. The conversation will feature artist Mark Adams, linguist Andrew Joseph and fashion historian Shonagh Marshall, and will be moderated by Aaron Binaco, publisher of Cape Cod Compass.
"When we started thinking about the first issue of Cape Cod Compass we knew that showing the Cape wholly wouldn't be possible. This first issue is a glance across the spit of land we all love — both an homage to the original publication, and an attempt to look at a peninsula experiencing rapid change." -- Aaron Binaco
