Friendship is full of revolutionary potential in the face of a profoundly anti-social capitalist system. Friends in Common explores friendship as a radical practice, capable of upending hierarchies and producing social change.

Friendship can transcend social boundaries and political borders. It is vital in building communities and underpinning solidarity. But its transformative potency ensures that it is heavily policed and restrained by the state. Understanding the radical possibilities of friendship can help us rethink our approach to family, work and politics, and show us new routes to resistance and ways to open up spaces of solidarity and escape.

We’ll be joined by the authors Laura C. Forster and Joel White who will tell us more about the book and why they wrote it. We’ll have an interactive session for us all to join in with and then finish with a Q&A panel of guests from local organisations.

We’re still planning the event and confirming our panel guests so check back for more information nearer the time.
