Tomorrow: Graphic Negotiations #2 with Rosen Eveleigh
Join us online at 1pm tomorrow for the second in our Graphic Negotiations event series featuring Rosen Eveleigh, who we have recently collaborated with on Dark Room: Sex and Protest in San Francisco 1988–2003. Free, but please RSVP via Eventbrite.
Rosen Eveleigh is a designer and researcher working independently or with artists, archives, editors, cultural institutions and publishers to produce graphic identities, typefaces, websites, texts, lectures, books and other works. They are interested in the historic and methodological relationship between graphic design and queer culture. Alongside their practice they teach on the MA Graphic Design at the Estonian Academy of Arts. Website: www.roseneveleigh.com.
Book Works sees graphic design as crucial to realising artists and writers’ ideas in the final form of the book. Graphic Negotiations is a series of lunchtime talks with designers, most of whom we’ve worked with in the past. The format and topic will vary, but all events are online (on Zoom), free to attend, and between 1-1.45 pm on weekdays. The next two events will be:
Wednesday 18th May – Erik Hartin and Moa Pårup
Wednesday 15th June – Rose Nordin and Rosa-Johan Uddoh

Last chance for the April Book of the Month: A Case of Hysteria by Sharon Kivland
Our Book of the Month for April is Sharon Kivland’s A Case of Hysteria (1999), which draws on Freud’s famous analysis of Dora, a young woman who is brought to him by her father. Dora is suffering from repeated loss of voice and a nervous cough. Sharon Kivland has created a mystery novel about Dora, which investigates the events discussed in her analysis as clues to the unlocking of a story of love and betrayal.
A Case of Hysteria is a critical study that rewrites one of the key texts in psychoanalysis and reveals an illuminating picture of Dora. The writer-turned detective traces the events recounted in the analysis, following the story to Vienna, Meran and Frazenbad.
Get it for just £14 (30% off) until the end of the month!
