un Projects 17.1: RESIST - Reading Group

"Isn't that the whole point of gender—letting someone else do your living for you?" - Andrea Long Chu

To accompany the upcoming launch of un Magazine 17.1: RESIST—edited by Bahar Sayed and Gemma Weston—you are invited to join a reading group for the discussion of Andrea Long Chu's first book 'Females: A Concern'. The discussion will be hosted at Cool Change, an artist-run initiative located in Boorloo (Perth CBD) / and digitally over Zoom.

'Females' is a long-form essay that stages and examines the premise 'everyone is female and everyone hates it'. A work of gender theory, literature and auto-fictional memoir in which the 2023 Pulizer Prize winner Andrea Long Chu examines the pessimism of sex and self, radical dreams of heterodoxy and a cynical dissection the desperate and smothering embrace of gender politics.

Snacks and refreshments (tea and coffee) will be provided - please advise ahead of time of any dietary needs.
