We are delighted to announce a new season of Radical Reading Assembly, running from November to May at the Arcadia Library & Leisure Centre. Radical Reading Assembly is a forum for new perspectives on art and politics organised by Levenshulme Contemporary Art Centre. We aim to move theory out of academia into public spaces and welcome anyone interested. You can read the book, check links and videos via LCAC.org.uk, or just turn up and join in. All sessions are on the first Wednesday of the month between 6:45-7:30 pm.
