Join us for a reading event with Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift, discussing their book Trans Femme Futures: Abolitionist Ethics for Transfeminist Worlds.

Trans Femme Futures envisions the future through everyday actions that revolutionise our lives. Nat Raha and Mijke van der Drift discuss struggles around trans healthcare, the need for collectives over institutions, the importance of mutual care, and transfeminism as abolition. The authors show how social change can be achieved through transformative practices that allow queer life to thrive in a time of climate, health, political and economic crises.

For this event, Nat and Mijke will present ideas from the book, followed by an audience Q&A.

This event is presented in collaboration with Radar. It connects to Nat Raha’s ongoing project Liberation Laboratory, a commission by Radar, the contemporary art programme of LU Arts at Loughborough University.

Dr Nat Raha is a poet, and Lecturer at Glasgow School of Art. She has authored four books of poetry, numerous journal articles, and her writing has been translated into eight languages.

Dr Mijke van der Drift is tutor at the Royal College of Art, London. Mijke’s work on ethics has appeared in various formats in journals, performances, and sound pieces.
