Soapbox: On the Uses of Absence

Start 19.30. Free entry!

This issue is dedicated to the interrogation of absence, as potential, failure, as (lack of) form. Students, scholars and creatives have responded to, or stayed with, the troubling contradictions of absence – asking what absence does, theoretically and politically: what are the potentialities of its constant gestures of refusal.

Join us at De Nieuwe Anita on the 11th of June to celebrate this exciting release! During this event we will give an introduction to the new issue and some of the contributing authors will be there to present their work. After this there will of course be time to mingle over drinks, dance to a DJ set, and buy your very own copy of On the Uses of Absence.
