Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau & Beth Bramich (The Bad Vibes Club) are hosting Paranoia with Joey
Paranoia with Joey Holder
The Bad Vibes Club
Thursday 03 May 6–8pm
Bloc Projects
Join The Bad Vibes Club (Matthew de Kersaint Giraudeau & Beth Bramich) for a reading group and discussion about how paranoia affects the way we think, and the possibilities for what Eve Sedgwick has called ‘reparative reading‘.
Reparative reading is a powerful corrective to paranoia and cynicism, and a much needed way of engaging with people and ideas that are different from our own.
We will be reading excerpts from Sedgewick’s book ‘Touching, Feeling’ and talking about them. No need to read the text beforehand, just turn up.

This event touches on themes explored in Joey Holder’s new commission Adcredo: The Deep Belief Network and the event will take place within Holder’s installation at Bloc Projects.
