Registration open for Reading the Crisis conversation series

Registration is now open for our Reading the Crisis online conversation series taking place from next month.

Announced as part of our Catastrophe and Emergence programme, Reading the Crisis asks: what kinds of tools and strategies are needed to address this conjuncture? This online conversation series will seek to advance Stuart Hall’s thinking by analysing a curated selection of three of Hall’s essays in relation to present-day political formations. Each conversation, chaired by Aasiya Lodhi, will form an online teach-in space dedicated to demonstrating how engaging in a conjunctural analysis can enrich artistic practice, deepen organising work, and academic study.
