Join us for an evening of readings reflecting on illness, mortality, and the fragility of the body. We’ll explore hospitals and spaces of care as places of intimacy, resistance, and creative labour – sites where medical language is stretched, resisted, or rewritten. Drawing on accounts from artists and writers who were ill, lived or worked in hospitals, or underwent treatments, we’ll reflect on the unknowns, transitions, and thresholds at the end of life.
About the Feminist Duration Reading Group
The Feminist Duration Reading Group (FDRG) has developed a practice of reading out loud together, one paragraph at a time, to create a sense of connection and intimacy. We focus on under-recognised feminist texts, often from outside the Anglo-American canon, and nurture a form of reading that resists speed and extractivism. Often, we collaborate with artists and writers to host gatherings in experimental ways. No prior preparation is necessary, as xcerpts will be provided.
