Join us to celebrate Hannah Silva’s wonderful book My Child, the Algorithm and the works of authors and artists Emma Frankland, Margaret Reynolds, and Rivers Solomon through readings and discussion chaired by Susanna Howard.
By exploring the themes of queer solo parenting, chosen families, knowledge, neurodiversity, and care we aim to consider alternative ways of parenting and thinking in a society not inherently set up for those who are LGBTQAI+.
This event is for members of the LGBTQAI+ community and allies.
To help make this event accessible to parents and carers, childcare for ages 4+ is provided through a workshop led by artist and education specialist Jasmin Bhanji. We ask that any children attending this workshop unsupervised are toilet trained. Children under 4 need to be accompanied by a supervising adult. Babes in arms are welcome to join their parents in the talk.
