Join Nottingham Contemporary in reading Ideas to Postpone the End of the World by Ailton Krenak. Krenak is an eminent figure in Brazilian activism, in the struggle for the recognition of the rights of indigenous people and for the environment.
As with all of their previous Slow Reading sessions, we will be reading Ideas to Postpone the End of the World by Ailton Krenak together, out loud and slowly. No special expertise is needed to participate in these sessions other than an interest in contemporary ecological issues, reading with others, and a willingness to discuss ideas. All sessions will be facilitated by Andrew Goffey, Associate Professor in Critical Theory and Cultural Studies, Faculty of Arts, at University of Nottingham.
The Slow Reading Group is an informal space for collectively reading meaningful texts that open out the ideas and themes from our research-based events at Nottingham Contemporary and the Three Ecologies Research Group at the University of Nottingham. Informed by Félix Guattari's notion of the Three Ecologies - the idea that our environmental crisis relates to our contemporary capitalism - and by theories of decolonisation and intersectionality, the reading group invites you to plot connections between these fields, combining academic and everyday approaches to research.
A PDF copy of the text will be provided during the session.
Online. Free. Limited Capacity. Booking required.
Sessions take place on the following dates:
Mon 20 Jan 2025, 6.30pm-8pm, online.
Mon 17 Feb 2025, 6.30pm-8pm, a hybrid session with the option to join online or in person at Nottingham Contemporary in Gallery 0.
Mon 17 Mar 2025, 6.30pm-8pm, online.
