Events

Join us for the launch of 🕯️ THEY LIED TO YOU ABOUT THE EUNUCHS 🕯️, a book project by Odete, published by OUTLINE (2025). The book introduces the history of eunuchism through auto-theory, historiography, historical fiction and poetry, exploring this identity in the ancient world and what kind of echoes can be heard in the present day. After a reading by Odete, she will be joined in conversation with our dear Ire.

Join us for the launch of Insula, a new speculative fiction novel by Théo Casciani blending autofiction, intimate confessions, queer aesthetics, video games, and a formidable apocalyptic vision of the contemporary world. Théo will be accompanied by musician and artist friend Megan Bruinen who is working on the sound design for the theatrical adaptation of the book. After the reading, Théo will be joined in conversation by our dear Gabriel-René Franjou about the book and Théo's work. Welcome!

Join us for the release of Some Monologues by Tyler Coburn, a publication that gathers fifteen years of the artist’s scripts (Wendy’s Subway, 2025). On this occasion, Coburn presents a new monologue entitled People that draws influence from A Personal History of American Theatre (1980), a one-person performance by the American actor and writer Spalding Gray (1941–2004). After performing People, Coburn will be joined in conversation with artist Eoghan Ryan.

Join us for the launch of Maisa in Webland: Detouring UX Destinies by author Maisa Imamović, published by Set Margins (2025). We will be joined by Maisa for a presentation and conversation about the book.

The publication brings together archival materials, newly translated historical materials alongside new writings about this historical event.

Join us for the launch of Dear Enheduanna by poet Erin Honeycutt, published by Ugly Duckling press 2025. Part prayer, part performance, part poetic treatise, Dear Enheduanna "is an erotic romp through language and lesbian history." (LA Warman) On the occasion of the launch we are joined by Erin Honeycutt, neneh noï and Chloe Chignell. After the reading they will talk about the inversions and perversions of moving between reader-author, writer-publisher, translation-invocation and anarchist publishing practices. 

We are delighted to welcome you for a reading by poet, writer and translator Cecilia Pavón. A cofounder of Buenos Aires’s independent art space and publishing press Belleza y Felicidad—where a whole generation of soon-to-be-famous Argentine artists showed their work for the first time—Pavón pioneered the use of “unpoetic” and intimate content—her verses often lifted from text messages or chat rooms, her tone often impish, yet brutally sincere. The reading will move from her nineties gaze up to her most recent work. It will be followed by a conversation with poet and programmer Jimena Casas.

Join us for a writing workshop by Claire Star Finch. Following in the footsteps of poets who use constraints to generate unexpected and powerful works we will explore Easy-to-Read’s Language’s constraints to experiment with a language of radical simplicity, full of rhythms and sounds. We will cut, move, and rearrange words to create texts that are both accessible and unique.

Join us for a reading and conversation with Claire Star Finch to celebrate the publication of their first novel Fuck Me Judith. A groundbreaking, anachronistic experiment in literature informed by the counter traditions of New Narrative and queer writing. Claire Star will share excerpts from the novel and then be joined in conversation by Chloe Chignell. 

Join us for the launch of Making Kin II: Plants for an evening exploring xenofiction and its potential to grasp the world from the perspective of a non-human other. Catalina Imizcoz, director of Cthulhu Books, and contributors Bianca Baldi and Anastasia Eggers will present their work with a conversation about the Making Kin series, followed by beautiful authors’ readings. 

Welcome to the launch of 45-120, a bilingual anthology of poetry edited by Juf project and published by Caniche editorial, 2025. The publication brings together the work of eighteen contemporary poets to reflect on how political, social, sexual, racial, class, and accessibility factors shape our notions of personal space. We will be joined by editors Bea Ortega Botas and Leto Ybarra for a reading and presentation.
