Bristol Queerants: Reading Fred Moten
Watershed, 6.30-8pm, Friday 12th December
Book a free ticket to attend.
Bristol Queerants is a queer discussion group.
Fred Moten is a cultural theorist and poet interested in how joy and pain are entangled in Black social life. In this Queerants, we will meet up to read together parts of the nine-page essay ‘Anassignment Letters’ from his book Stolen Life.
The essay is about studying at university. Moten says how important intellectual life is, but how wrongly it’s set up in the current university system. He says, let’s do it (we need it) but let’s do it differently.
Reflecting Moten’s point that thinking and intellectual practice are social, we hope that as we read together new ideas and connections will form.
You don’t have to read anything beforehand as we’ll read it together when we meet. (If you'd like a copy in advance, send us a message on Instagram.)
