This April, we at the Feminist Library are delighted to host the opening session of “The Poethics of Infrastructure.” With @threadbarecollective.

Threadbare Collective is an art-curatorial collective based in SE London, focusing on architecture, rest and the body. They were recently in residence at Goldsmiths CCA 24/25 where they ran a monthly programme of workshops and a performance night as part of Deptford X.

For their first reading group, “Reading Maps,” They will gather us together around texts that approach the practise of cartography not as a tool for fixing territories, but as a speculative and imaginative practice. They’ll read excerpts from The Word for World: The Maps of Ursula K. Le Guin (Architectural Association), placing the work of Ursula K. Le Guin in conversation with Madeleine de Scudéry’s Carte de Tendre from her novel Clélie (1654–61), an early and evocative example of sentimental cartography.

Across these invented and reimagined geographies, mapping will be explored as porous, collaborative, and shaped by story, feeling, and relation. Together, maps will be though through as invitations; to wander, to misread, and to redraw.

We invite you to join us in considering how worlds are mapped into being, and how cartography might be reimagined to trace spaces of care, connection, and collective imagination.

All are welcome.
