The TrAIN Research Centre is collaborating with Reaktion Books for the London launch of Gannit Ankori’s new publication, Palestinian Art.
Examining the work of contemporary Palestinian artists working in the Palestinian territories, in Israel and in exile, Ankori’s unprecedented and original overview is in sympathy with both the transnational research focus of the Centre and its wider aim to contribute to both creativity and cultural understanding. The launch will take place at one of TrAIN’s constituent colleges, Chelsea College of Art & Design, from 6pm to 8.30pm on Monday 22nd May. It will begin with a discussion by the author, to be held in the Chelsea College of Design Lecture Theatre, and will be followed by a wine reception in the College’s Red Room.
We are looking for Chelsea students to help manage the event and reception, there will be rewards! Please email i.whitelegg@chelsea.arts.ac.uk for more info.

This astonishing exchange, structured by the alphabet – a form previously deployed in a famous interview with Gilles Deleuze – produces a dynamic collision between philosophy and a committed, passionate, and engaged personal politics.

The screening will be followed by a conversation between Carles Guerra and Neil Cummings.  Carles Guerra is an artist, writer and critic living and working in Spain.  Neil Cummings is an artist, writer and Professor in Fine Art Theory & Practice at Chelsea.
