Join us for an informal exchange with contemporary thinkers on identity and belonging in the 21st century. We will explore solidarity, the tensions between ethnicity and class and how the very idea of identity is being stretched, sometimes beyond recognition. We will end the evening with Nocturnal Reception and the DJ set by Kolektiv.
