Event: Readings About...England

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England Led by writer and editor Amelia Horgan, Readings About… is a new literary event in which writers respond to a theme. In response to Okiki Akinfe’s exhibtion, R9 5AN , this iteration is about England, a place that shows up roughly at the fuzzy borders of London. Readings About…England will bring together readings about and discussions of the politics of place, ‘identity’, how people make place and vice versa, power, class, race, imperialism, and the meaning of ‘England’. Readers: Hettie O’Brien, Lewis Brown, Antonia Lucia Dawes, Sacha Hilhorst, Natasha Samrai and Khalid Azizuddin. This event is free, suggested donation is £3. Booking required.
