Amelia Abraham: 'Sex, Clubs, Dissent' [Talk]

Amelia Abraham will be taking part in Indie Night at the Southbank Centre this June to talk about the making of her new book Sex, Clubs, Dissent: Visualising Queer Nightlife. 

Indie Night is the Southbank Centre's brand-new quarterly series celebrating independent presses and the brilliant authors they publish.

Each event showcases a handpicked, eclectic mix of four writers – fiction and nonfiction, established names and emerging voices – united by the same independent spirit as their publishers. One by one, the authors read from their work and sit down for a conversation with our hosts, Okechukwu Nzelu and Eliza Clark.

More about Sex, Clubs, Dissent 

This book explores how image-making has fostered, and at times jeopardised, the formation of queer practices, subcultures, and forms of resistance. It asks what our decades-long quest to catalogue and understand nightlife spaces through photography and film can tell us about our various relationships with them, and how photography intersects with pleasure, politics, and protest.
