You are warmly invited to join us for the launch of Get Rid of Meaning: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Writing, a new periodical by Sticky Fingers Publishing, exploring how and where meaning is produced, maintained and distributed. Here we conjure Kathy Acker, writing in Empire of the Senseless: “GET RID OF MEANING. YOUR BRAIN HAS BEEN EATING YOU. NOW EAT YOUR MIND.” Issue #1 gathers together initial responses to this provocation that interrogate systems of meaning-making. Exploring sites from the gallery to the community meeting place, and modes from fabulation to prayer, these works uncover intersections of meaning, materiality and marginalisation. Featuring contributions from A. Lyons, Biogal, Brooke Palmieri, Dáire Nic Cana, Donna Marcus Duke, Evelyn Wh-ell, Hugo Hagger, Kasra Jalilipour & Sam Moore.
The night will be hosted, as always, by Donna The First. Expect painfully long party games, publications and more available to buy on the night.
