Happening this Saturday, 18 February, 15:00–17:00 at Moira Exporiment; online participation is possible as well, email info@read-in.info for the Zoom link.

Organized with artist Dung Nguyen, this Read-in continues its Haunted Bookshelves practice, a choreography for memorizing, through assessing the absence or (re)contexualization of what is written. The session will be in light of the upcoming International Women’s Day or International Women Workers Day. This memorial day began because feminists wanted to honor the women who went on strike, the women who fought for suffrage and the end of war. IWD exists because we remember women, both cis- and trans, who started revolutions. It is a day to rise, resist, revolt, unite and disrupt business as usual, to celebrate and stand in solidarity with women and girls all over the world. As we are getting ready to heed the many calls to action and take the streets on 8 March, the event asks what we should memorize to prepare for this day.
