Lighthouse - Edinburgh's Radical Bookshop

**This event is fully wheelchair accessible, there will be BSL interpretation, it will start at 6pm sharp.**
Bisexuals are often the most invisible of the sexualities, but not at this event. Join us on 19th of July at Dovecot Studios for an evening of bivisibility and in celebration of launching Monstrous Regiment’s New Testimonials – a follow up to our popular bisexual anthology The Bi-ble (which has just been rereleased and will be available on the night!) 
Readings will take place from both volumes of the anthology by Chitra Ramaswamy and Sandra Alland. A panel discussion and Q&A with the authors and editors (including Jessica Brough, Vaneet Mehta, Lauren Nickodemus, and more) will investigate the issues that are most pressing to the bisexual+ community in 2019. It will also discuss the ways publications can be used to platform an often erased identity and how we can best demand better representations of bisexuals in the arts and media. 
Several authors will be available for signings and chat afterwards, and as always, we we'll have a very bisexual friendly social afterwards! 
Coming along? Let us know @monstrousrgmt.
