Workshop: FLARB (Free, Lazy, Arty, Radical Bookclub) Saturday 18th April, 2:30pm – 4pm Join us for FLARB this April with ZEST co-director Ellen Gillett as she facilitates a fun, informal conversation around our new contemporary art commission RAFTS by Alistair Debling. FLARB is the Free, Lazy, Arty, Radical Book Club, a book club without the stress of a conventional book club. It reclaims the word ‘lazy’ as a radical approach to inclusion and self-compassion. FLARB removes traditional access barriers to reading around arts and social justice topics in order to create a sociable, inclusive space to have a read, have a chat and learn something together. It achieves this by having: → No cost or fees (the texts are freely available online or provided ahead of the session, no joining/participation fee) → No pressure to contribute or commit (it is ok to turn up just to listen or to turn up only when you feel like it) → Very short texts (either written, video, or images) that can be digested in 10 minutes ahead of the session, or if you are feeling ‘lazy’, not at all! → No required knowledge or expertise to join, just curiosity and respect for others.
