We are exited to be welcoming Steven Vass author of ‘Let the Music Play: How R&B Fell in Love with 80s Synths’ (Velocity Press) down to Outlaws for a talk / Q&A.

For the majority of exhibitions at BasementArtsProject we run a 'Lunchtime Conversation' in which the exhibiting artist is invited to a home cooked community meal around the kitchen table.

We only ever offer 10 tickets -all of which are free - as that is all I can fit around the table comfortably.

Get to know the artist and chat about Art, Life, The Universe and so much more...

As Trans Awareness Week brings its usual round of flags and corporate platitudes, let's plot a route to true trans liberation by reading and talking about this slim, powerful queer history book, which exposes the historical origins of the transmisogynistic system in which we all live.

Come along even if you haven't read the whole thing, and we'll learn from each other: understanding how we got our current transphobic worldview is the first step towards burning it down.

Join publisher and librarian, Harry-Anne (Dragonhide Studios) for a talk about the past and present of book bans. Hear about the history of puritanism, anti-gay bans on children's books and the Nazi book burnings. Harry-Anne will chat about the modern British perspective including the social pressures and cyber bullying aspects of book banning.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and you will be able to browse and purchase (banned!) books.
