Bibliotherapy for the Anthropocene is a performance in the guise of a reading group, a faux-Quaker meeting, a reconvening of the Dead Poets Society. It is a wake for the geological period we may or may not be living in. No prior reading is necessary, all participants will receive a strata of reading material as part of the invitation in advance.

Bram Thomas Arnold is an artist who started with walking and kept going, into performance, installation, broadcasting and bibliotherapy.

About Od Arts Festival

Od Arts Festival returns this May, bringing exhibitions, performances, film and workshops by local and international artists to not-so-sleepy Somerset. New and specially-sited artworks will pop up around the villages of East Coker and West Coker, in cafes, halls, houses, chapels and fields, and also online for a special digital programme.

Devised before the hiatus of the global pandemic, the guiding theme for the festival of ‘Alone with Everybody’, explores loneliness. A programme of playful, experimental and performative artworks will probe different aspects of aloneness, and ask visitors to discuss how it might be liberating as well as difficult to be alone.
