Sitting Together

Reading Group facilitated by Gareth Evans.

This reading group will invite participants to collectively read John Berger's 1968 essay The Nature of Mass Demonstrations and discuss the relevance of the essay within the current context of global unrest; why it is necessary to protest and how protest acts as an engine of hope in the present, building solidarities and creating temporary autonomous zones of collective belonging.

This event is part of A Season of Peace Building, programmed with Grace Ndiritu for The Ignorant Art School Sit-in Curriculum #5. This series of conversations, workshops and gatherings is designed by Grace Ndiritu, drawing on her book Being Together: A Manual For Living as a template.
