About
Exploring Bhanu Kapil’s Ban-en-Banlieue (2015)
Wed 7 May, 5.30-7.30pm
Free, booking required
This reading and discussion group will focus on Bhanu Kapil’s experimental exploration of body and politics, Ban-en-Banlieue (2015). The book follows a brown (black) girl as she walks home from school in the first moments of a riot. An April night in London, 1979 is the axis of this startling work, derived from performances in India, England and throughout the US, written at the limits of somatic and civic aims.
Led by poet Jennifer Lee Tsai, currently an Artist in Residence at Bluecoat through the Wittenham Bursary, we will read and share our thoughts, ideas, and reflections on this innovative and fragmentary book in an inclusive, friendly, and encouraging space. All are welcome.
Limited availability, book now to avoid missing out.
