A communal talk with the musician and actress Mahalia.

Artist and writer Aria Dean discusses her recent work and the thinking behind her current exhibition at the ICA.

The first of three reading groups hosted by Verso, this intimate evening holds an invitation to dive deeply into Jules Gill Petersen’s accessible, bold new vision for trans feminism’s intersectional and global future with the author.
