£10.00 / £8.00 MEMBER / £8.00 CONCESSION
This reading group will explore two texts in order to investigate the contradictions, strategies and forms of movement building that are necessary to respond to crisis and oppressive governance.
Facilitated by Sita Balani and Abeera Khan, this session will attempt to read both texts against one another, whilst using them as a basis for contextualising the specific political conjuncture that feminists must respond to.
Prior knowledge of texts is not necessary as they will be read and discussed in the session. All are welcome.
