NAC BOOK: Conversations At Home With Friends

"NOT ANOTHER CONSPIRACY: Conversations At Home With Friends" is Montrose Matters' latest creation! Released May 2026 to work in tandem with the NAC Film, this 12-session journey was written BY Houston's creative community FOR creative communities everywhere. Like a meal, this book is designed to be shared around kitchen and coffee tables with strangers and friends. But don't get it twisted! This ain't your average book club. It's a powerful tool for communities seeking to close the gap between isolation and impact, between doubting and believing in yourself, between generational paralysis and empowerment.

Drawing from creative pioneers such as Frederick Douglass, Nina Simone, Kurt Vonnegut, and many more - as well as from writers and researchers in history, art history, sociology and community building - the NAC Book actively creates safe, artistic havens to process our post-2020 societal shifts, and to build an oasis within and around you, amidst out growing cultural desert. It invites readers into an honest and open dialogue about creativity and hope as we work toward cultural reformation. In that, it helps reframe our modern "doomsday" anxieties through a historical lens of collective progress. We believe a greater later starts happens one living room at a time... Will you start the conversation?
