offtheshelf.org.uk + Booking fee: 70p per ticket; £1 per ticket £10+ 9 Working Class Voices

“The ways we write about and experience class have changed fundamentally in the last fifty years. Now, we might think of class as operating alongside and within other forms of identity: gender, race, and sexuality. We might also see class as a site of misrepresentation; with the hierarchies of social and political division felt throughout our popular and political cultures with increasing force and venom. More than ever then, we must look to our writers to speak from and give voice to the margins, wherever they might be found.”

The Working Class Voices theme has been curated by Dr David Forrest, Senior Lecturer in Film Studies in the School of English at the University of Sheffield

10 Environment

“Environmental change affects each and every one of us, whether it’s declining insect life in our gardens, air pollution in our city centres, or climactic events at a planetary scale. Each one of these writers and performers addresses environmental change in the age of the Anthropocene, reminding us what we can do to make a difference to our collective future. It has never been more important for us to hear their voices.”

The Environment theme has been curated by Dr Niamh Downing, Head of Humanities, and Dr Harriet Tarlo, Reader in Creative Writing, both at Sheffield Hallam University
