Shared Reading is for everyone – whether you love books or have never read before.
In this online interactive taster session, they’ll explore great literature by writers of colour and share meaningful conversations about racism. There’s no pressure for anyone to read out loud, you can simply sit back and listen.
Over the past year, staff at The Reader have been involved in a project called “Just Us” where black literature is read together as a way to spark thoughts, feelings and a different conversation about racism, as the start of a long term commitment to contribute through our work to a world that is free of racism. Olu Alake, a Trustee of The Reader will join the session to share his perspective on this work.
This session runs from 6.30pm – 8.00pm and will take place on Zoom. To make this event as accessible as possible, tickets are pay what you feel. If you do book a ticket and can no longer make it, please let them know so they can release the space for someone else to enjoy.
