The voices of 1968 around the world: a reading

A slightly off-beat event (Maynooth, Tuesday Oct 22nd).

“The voices of 1968 around the world: a reading”

The radical movements of the “long 1968” shook the postwar order from Prague to Paris, Derry to Mexico City, Rome to San Francisco. “Voices of 1968” (Pluto) lets those movements speak in their own words – posters, flyers, graffiti, manifestos, songs, underground texts and more.

I’ll be reading from some of the texts in the book with a slideshow in the background – revolutions produce some cracking writers, speakers and graphic artists!

Iontas seminar room (2.31, top floor), Maynooth campus (north end, beside the “water feature”, 12 noon.

Free, all welcome.
