“The self is only a threshold, a door, a becoming between two multiplicities.” — Gilles Deleuze & Félix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus
Join us for an evening of readings and sonic experimentation to mark the publication of the second volume of Deleuzine, traversing becoming(s) and titled She-Dogs.
Deleuzine: A Zine for Nobodies Without Organs is an experimental publication inspired by the writings of French philosopher Gilles Deleuze, as well as figures whose life or work can be said to exemplify aspects of Deleuze’s philosophy of life, including Antonin Artaud, Ezekiel Mphaphele’s Wanderers and Kathy Acker among others. Encompassing the fields of literature, philosophy, ethnography, archaeology, and the arts, the publication aims at a radical exploration of word, image, and printed matter towards beauty, but also aesthetic and political freedom.
As part of this event, we're delighted to welcome Deleuzine contributors Sascha Akhtar, Simon Barraclough, Phoebe Eccles, Hugo Hagger, Suki Hollywood, George Micah Kuhn, Louis Mason, Natascha Nanji, Paola Valentina, Laurence Pritchard, George Finlay Ramsay, and Helen Samuels, for a series of readings.
We’re also very pleased to invite London-based artists and musicians Katie Shannon and Avel Mismo, and the collective Remer Cier, presenting covert operations from a number of notable figures/producers/artists, to join us in exploring becoming through sound and music.

She co runs record labels and club nights Domestic Exile and So Low.
