TWR x Hope Street Writer in Residence

Tuesday 2 April / Tate Liverpool / Free with RSVP

 

Together with the University of Liverpool, The White Review invites you to an evening of readings and discussion with US-based poet and psychoanalyst, Nuar Alsadir. Alsadir, the current Hope Street Writer in Residence, will be joined by interdisciplinary writer Jay Bernard. The event, which will take place at Tate Liverpool, marks the third year of our collaboration with the Centre for New and International Writing. The event will begin promptly at 6 p.m., and will be followed by a wine reception and book signing. Please book early to avoid disappointment! Tickets are available here.
