Centre for Feminist Research, Goldsmiths

CFR is supporting this event by Solidarity Kitchen that is happening on the 1 March 2024 between 7:00 - 9:30pm at the Goldsmiths Occupation for Palestine on the lower ground of the Professor Stuart Hall Building, Goldsmiths, New Cross!

Join us as Micha Frazer-Carroll and Waithera Sebatindira place their recent books, ‘Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health” (Pluto Press) and “Through an Addict’s Looking-Glass” (Hajar Press), in conversation in order to examine health under capitalism, and reframe madness, illness, and disability as means through which we can better politically understand and transform the world.

Waithera Sebatindira is an East African writer based in London. Through an Addict's Looking-Glass is an exercise in meaning-making, a thinking-out-loud. Sebatindira unravels how it feels to live as an addict under capitalism, pondering how engaging with these experiences could bring the horizon of liberation towards us. Through embodied explorations of addiction and recovery, Sebatindira invites us to inhabit crip time, a concept that describes different temporal realities in the lives of disabled people. In this collection, the addict's crip time is distorted, mutable and non-linear, hopping backwards and forwards through memory loops and memory loss. Blackout is time travel; sobriety is failure; finitude, freedom.

Micha Frazer-Carroll is the author of Mad World: The Politics of Mental Health (Pluto Press). She has written and edited for publications including the Guardian and gal-dem; and is a trustee at the National Survivor User Network, a network of people and groups with lived-experience of mental ill-health, trauma, and distress. By day, she works at Healing Justice London, a community-led health and healing organisation.

'Feel Tanks as Method: Why We Can't Wait Any Longer' by Chloe Turner

Because thinking about accessibility needs to include the privileges to information that institutional access provides, something I think as researchers we so often take for granted.

Thank you to everyone who attended the event!
