Revisiting Radical Ideas Past: An Evening of Shared Readings
Thursday February 27th
Doors & drinks 6.30pm; Readings start 7pm
Join us for an evening of shared readings from the works of visionary past thinkers. Which radical ideas from the past should we revisit to help us understand and respond to this current moment?
Figures we have in mind include William Blake, Ivan Illich, Donella Meadows, Alfred North Whitehead, bell hooks, Raymond Williams, John Berger, Agnes Heller, Fritjof Capra and Dorothy Smith, among others. We'd also love to learn about other, perhaps lesser known past thinkers whose work we should return to.
All are invited to propose a short reading via events@kairos.london, or just come along and listen.
If you're unable to attend but have suggestions for other past thinkers we'd love to hear from you. Do let us know if there are any written works in particular you think we should include in our library collection.
The readings will be followed by a one-pot vegan supper and informal discussion about the ideas we've heard, with the bar remaining open until 10.30pm
Kairos, 84 Tottenham Court Road, London W1T 4TG
