From 2018 - 2020 it was held at fanfare, but the third season, which begins in November 2020, will take place online. - We borrow from Sara Ahmed’s citation policy in _Living a Feminist Life_, in which she encourages us to view citations as (re)productive technologies – a tool that circumscribes the world around certain bodies. As such, we prioritise the work of women, trans, non-binary, queer, black, indigenous, POC, working-class, disabled, and other marginalised bodies in our resources and reading materials: “Citations can be feminist bricks: they are the materials through which, from which, we create our dwellings.” Ahmed, _Living a Feminist Life_, p.16. - Announcements for our reading groups are sent to our mailing list every month, to which you must RSVP in order to participate. - There is a maximum of 12 spots for each session which are offered on a first come first serve basis. - All resources and materials are provided digitally prior to each session. - Meetings are held in English. - _fanfare_, our host venue for our in-person events and reading groups, is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible. - _plot twist_ aims to offer a safe space for everyone involved. Any form of bigotry – racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism – is not tolerated, and you will be asked you to leave if you behave in a way that offends or upsets others. - See our community guidelines for more info on how we run things. - Occasionally, we organise public activities and events, which are announced via our social media channels. News July 13 2021 EMBRACING VALUE Max Haiven writes that western society is suffering a crisis of imagination, with the seamless spread of capitalism into every part of our lives. In the next and final session of the season, we are reading from the zine Radical Care: Embracing Feminist Finance, to challenge our thinking about money, explore ideas about finance that lie outside of our current economic paradigm, and think about how these may be put into practice. Within capitalism, economic systems impact us all yet they can often seem far removed or complex to the point of abstraction. For this session, you will need no prior knowledge of these topics as we will be learning together. We will look to hopeful models – such as open value cooperation and local currencies – to embrace different values, with a focus on locality, cooperation, and care. The zine asks the question: \"If you could break down one patriarchal structure within the current economic paradigm, which would it be and what would you replace it with?\" To answer this, we can look at suggested models from the zine and supporting texts, such as gift economies to social and artistic initiatives, to speculate on new ecosystems of value.

The project is rooted in a desire to better understand our attachments and relationships to the textual form, and engage with wider questions around meaning, language, semiotics, citation, forms of writing, and alternative ways of knowing. In the first iteration of the BAD READER series, we will read Lydia Davis’ ‘Fragmentary or Unfinished’ from her latest essay collection Essays (2019), alongside a few passages from Roland Barthes’ The Pleasure of the Text (1973). Davis’ essay looks at the fragmentary text to ask questions about the idea of wholeness or completion in a work, and how the form lends itself to grief, thinking (as a process), incoherency, and the destruction of narrative. In The Pleasure of the Text, Barthes theorises on what it means to enjoy a text, insisting on the importance of developing an erotics of reading. It is also written in fragments ;-). \\BAD READER is a series of reading sessions organised by Jo Kali and Georgie Sinclair. It will be integrated periodically (as and when fit) into the plot twist programme between 2021-2022. Reading sessions are non-committal; you do not need to have participated in previous or plan to attend future iterations of BAD READER to join. We hope to share more information on the expanded programme soon.

Since March 2020, desires for the bucolic escape of #cottagecore have filtered across the socials- images of gardening, allotments, and analogue forms of domestic living offering both an aesthetic respite, and a stark contrast, to the varied experiences of an urban lockdown. Looking at various forms of pastoral maintenance we will discuss the ways these texts use land to explore themes of care, escape, and community- in addition to problematising the political undertones these trends can gesture to. How might issues of land ownership, climate grief, and gendered forms of care intertwine in a desire to grow our own herbs?

In this story of survival and miracles, Hildegard encounters love, both queer and divine, and great peril. As the visionary healer travels through the unfamiliar landscape following a great cataclysm, she discovers the mythic quantum energy of viriditas in the natural world around her. Her journey becomes one of return, to the sacred truth of her own being. Hildegard’s tale is received in the plague year of 2020 by Alice Spawls, and then in the next century, in a sea cave with cracked amethyst walls. On planet Avaaz, once known as Earth, Bhanu Kapil’s Pinky Agarwalia finds fragments of a beautiful codex.

Feelings we might feel somewhat estranged from in this state of locked-up “half-living”, such as shame, desire, joy and loss are mediated through the temporal distance from our ‘other selves’. In this session, by looking at different writers’ approaches to memory-writing, we will experiment with what it means to remember. How do we write our past selves? The way memories feel might change over time: seen from a distance, we can put memories into their political, class or cultural context, like scattered pieces of a puzzle. Hosted by Ida Blom Reading List February 2021 from The Happening Annie Ernaux from Cockroaches Scholastique Mukasonga from Childhood Tove Ditlevsen News January 6 2020 CRIP-TIME: BENDING THE CLOCK “Crip time is flex time not just expanded but exploded; it requires re-imagining our notions of what can and should happen in time, or recognizing how expectations of 'how long things take' are based on very particular minds and bodies. Rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds.\" Alison Kafer In this session, we will think through the notion of ‘Crip Time’. Our brains and bodies all process and understand time in different ways, but for some people there is a heightened disparity between theirs and “regular” (often ableist) visions of time in daily life. In a culture where productivity and an attitude of “getting stuff done” is also a measure of self-worth, it’s important to recognise how these feed into and perpetuate the pathologization of people with disabilities. Being late, not finishing, sleeping too much or at irregular hours all spring from the same rigid and exclusionary sense that time is organised and experienced by everybody in the same way.

From 2018 - 2020 it was held at fanfare, but the third season, which begins in November 2020, will take place online. - We borrow from Sara Ahmed’s citation policy in _Living a Feminist Life_, in which she encourages us to view citations as (re)productive technologies – a tool that circumscribes the world around certain bodies. As such, we prioritise the work of women, trans, non-binary, queer, black, indigenous, POC, working-class, disabled, and other marginalised bodies in our resources and reading materials: “Citations can be feminist bricks: they are the materials through which, from which, we create our dwellings.” Ahmed, _Living a Feminist Life_, p.16. - Announcements for our reading groups are sent to our mailing list every month, to which you must RSVP in order to participate. - There is a maximum of 12 spots for each session which are offered on a first come first serve basis. - All resources and materials are provided digitally prior to each session. - Meetings are held in English. - _fanfare_, our host venue for our in-person events and reading groups, is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible. - _plot twist_ aims to offer a safe space for everyone involved. Any form of bigotry – racism, sexism, classism, homophobia, transphobia and ableism – is not tolerated, and you will be asked you to leave if you behave in a way that offends or upsets others. - See our community guidelines for more info on how we run things. - Occasionally, we organise public activities and events, which are announced via our social media channels. News July 13 2021 EMBRACING VALUE Max Haiven writes that western society is suffering a crisis of imagination, with the seamless spread of capitalism into every part of our lives. In the next and final session of the season, we are reading from the zine Radical Care: Embracing Feminist Finance, to challenge our thinking about money, explore ideas about finance that lie outside of our current economic paradigm, and think about how these may be put into practice. Within capitalism, economic systems impact us all yet they can often seem far removed or complex to the point of abstraction. For this session, you will need no prior knowledge of these topics as we will be learning together. We will look to hopeful models – such as open value cooperation and local currencies – to embrace different values, with a focus on locality, cooperation, and care. The zine asks the question: \"If you could break down one patriarchal structure within the current economic paradigm, which would it be and what would you replace it with?\" To answer this, we can look at suggested models from the zine and supporting texts, such as gift economies to social and artistic initiatives, to speculate on new ecosystems of value. Hosted by Kate Frances Lingard and Rebecca Gill Reading List July 2021 Radical Care: Embracing Feminist Finance Amateur Cities in collaboration with The Institute of Network Cultures News May 31 2021 BAD READER BAD READER\\ is an ongoing study group dedicated to exploring phenomenologies, politics, and practices of reading. The project is rooted in a desire to better understand our attachments and relationships to the textual form, and engage with wider questions around meaning, language, semiotics, citation, forms of writing, and alternative ways of knowing. In the first iteration of the BAD READER series, we will read Lydia Davis’ ‘Fragmentary or Unfinished’ from her latest essay collection Essays (2019), alongside a few passages from Roland Barthes’ The Pleasure of the Text (1973). Davis’ essay looks at the fragmentary text to ask questions about the idea of wholeness or completion in a work, and how the form lends itself to grief, thinking (as a process), incoherency, and the destruction of narrative. In The Pleasure of the Text, Barthes theorises on what it means to enjoy a text, insisting on the importance of developing an erotics of reading. It is also written in fragments ;-). \\BAD READER is a series of reading sessions organised by Jo Kali and Georgie Sinclair. It will be integrated periodically (as and when fit) into the plot twist programme between 2021-2022. Reading sessions are non-committal; you do not need to have participated in previous or plan to attend future iterations of BAD READER to join. We hope to share more information on the expanded programme soon.

Since March 2020, desires for the bucolic escape of #cottagecore have filtered across the socials- images of gardening, allotments, and analogue forms of domestic living offering both an aesthetic respite, and a stark contrast, to the varied experiences of an urban lockdown. Looking at various forms of pastoral maintenance we will discuss the ways these texts use land to explore themes of care, escape, and community- in addition to problematising the political undertones these trends can gesture to. How might issues of land ownership, climate grief, and gendered forms of care intertwine in a desire to grow our own herbs?

In this story of survival and miracles, Hildegard encounters love, both queer and divine, and great peril. As the visionary healer travels through the unfamiliar landscape following a great cataclysm, she discovers the mythic quantum energy of viriditas in the natural world around her. Her journey becomes one of return, to the sacred truth of her own being. Hildegard’s tale is received in the plague year of 2020 by Alice Spawls, and then in the next century, in a sea cave with cracked amethyst walls. On planet Avaaz, once known as Earth, Bhanu Kapil’s Pinky Agarwalia finds fragments of a beautiful codex.

San Serriffe (@sanserriffe) in Amsterdam, NL Rile\\* (rile.space) in Brussels, BE Good Press(good.press) in Glasgow, UK News February 2 2021 REMEMBERING, BARELY Lowkey writing workshop focused on autobiographical memory-writing Writing memories can change our perception of how life was. Feelings we might feel somewhat estranged from in this state of locked-up “half-living”, such as shame, desire, joy and loss are mediated through the temporal distance from our ‘other selves’. In this session, by looking at different writers’ approaches to memory-writing, we will experiment with what it means to remember. How do we write our past selves? The way memories feel might change over time: seen from a distance, we can put memories into their political, class or cultural context, like scattered pieces of a puzzle. Hosted by Ida Blom Reading List February 2021 from The Happening Annie Ernaux from Cockroaches Scholastique Mukasonga from Childhood Tove Ditlevsen News January 6 2020 CRIP-TIME: BENDING THE CLOCK “Crip time is flex time not just expanded but exploded; it requires re-imagining our notions of what can and should happen in time, or recognizing how expectations of 'how long things take' are based on very particular minds and bodies. Rather than bend disabled bodies and minds to meet the clock, crip time bends the clock to meet disabled bodies and minds.\" Alison Kafer In this session, we will think through the notion of ‘Crip Time’. Our brains and bodies all process and understand time in different ways, but for some people there is a heightened disparity between theirs and “regular” (often ableist) visions of time in daily life. In a culture where productivity and an attitude of “getting stuff done” is also a measure of self-worth, it’s important to recognise how these feed into and perpetuate the pathologization of people with disabilities. Being late, not finishing, sleeping too much or at irregular hours all spring from the same rigid and exclusionary sense that time is organised and experienced by everybody in the same way.
