The Sleepers: Study Day

Mon 26 January

Murray Edwards College

Bringing together writers and academics, this event explores how we might reimagine rest not as a luxury, but as a radical and necessary form of resistance. Through the perspectives of three powerful speakers — Evie Muir, Akshi Singh, and a third speaker to be confirmed — we will reflect on how race, disability, activism and creativity intersect in everyday life and cultural work.

This event forms part of our wider programme for the exhibition The Sleepers, offering a space to pause, listen and collectively consider how rest can be protected and celebrated.

This event warmly welcomes members of the general public as well as students, researchers and academics.

Cost: £18 (concessions £13; students free)
