Future Visions: An Evening of Shared Readings

Thursday November 6th
Doors & drinks 6.30pm; Readings start 7pm

For the latest in our series of reading evenings, we'll be sharing excerpts from books, essays, poems and other texts that offer a radical vision for the future.

All are invited to propose a short reading via events@kairos.london, or just come along to listen.

Expect to hear passages from Anna Tsing's "The Mushroom at the End of the World: On the Possibility of Life in Capitalist Ruins(2015)", George Orwell's "Homage to Catalonia" (1938), Megan Hunter's "The End We Start From" (2018) , and whatever else you’d like to suggest (via events@kairos.london) or bring on the night.

The readings will be followed by a one-pot vegan supper and informal discussion about these radical futures, how they might help us today, and how we might start to work towards them.

If you're unable to attend but have suggestions for future visions you think we should include we'd love to hear from you. And do let us know if there are any written works you think we should add to our library collection.
