Speaking from a growing global sex worker rights movement\, and situating their argument firmly within wider questions of migration\, work\, feminism\, and resistance to white supremacy\, they make it clear that anyone committed to working towards justice and freedom should be in support of the sex worker rights movement.\nThe book is 288 pages long.

Resulting from a placement at the Mayday Rooms\, researcher Ruari Paterson-Achenbach will host a series of discussions around materials in the archive\, alongside creative practitioners\, trying to explore what it might mean to ‘create anarchically’. What might it mean to consider creative practice a form of direct action\, or vice-versa? How can artists incorporate the principles of mutual aid into their work? Is the notion of ‘art’ compatible with anarchist thought? Across these three events\, we will answer these questions together using historical examples\, with all the possibilities and limitations they might offer us. \nFor the first session\, Ruari will be in discussion with Stefan Szczelkun\, artist and former member of the Scratch Orchestra. They will focus particularly on a performance by the Scratch Orchestra at the 1971 Art Spectrum exhibition where they collectively built a cottage\, “conceived as a place to play – insulated from the context of ‘high art’”\, based on Szczelkun’s designs. Using materials from the Mayday Rooms collection pertaining to the Cottage performance and Szczelkun’s work more broadly\, they will think about the possibilities for conceiving of creative practice as a form of direct action\, and the particular kinds of political imagination that can be worked towards when making something together. \nFuture events in the series: \nSituationism Revisited – 5th March 2026 7 – 9pm \nCreativity and Mutual Aid  – 9th April 2026 7 – 9pm URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/creative-anarchy-an-event-series-exploring-connections-between-anarchist-thought-organising-and-creative-practice/ LOCATION:Mayday Rooms\, 88 Fleet Street\, EC4Y 1AE CATEGORIES:Workshops END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260205T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260205T203000 DTSTAMP:20260501T212314 CREATED:20260127T150835Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260127T174338Z UID:4823-1770318000-1770323400@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:SOLD OUT! THE LOG BOOKS: VOICES OF QUEER BRITAIN AND THE HELPLINE THAT LISTENED with Tash Walker &Adam Zmith DESCRIPTION:please note this event is now sold out. To be added to a waiting list please email shop@housmans.com An intimate history of LGBTQ+ life over four decades\, discovered in a stash of forgotten\, handwritten notes. Switchboard was founded at Housmans\, and operated out of our premises for many years. So we are honored to start LGBT+ History Month by launching a book that covers an intimate part of Switchboard’s proud history and we look forward to welcoming its authors Tash Walker and Adam Zmith to the shop for an evening of discussion and celebration. \n‘A fantastic journey through an overlooked archive bursting with humanity and real life on every page.’ Dan Snow \nIn a crawlspace at the offices of Switchboard\, a queer helpline in operation since 1974\, lies dozens of log books kept by volunteers describing the phone calls they had taken: a teenager whose parents had kicked them out of their home for dressing as the wrong gender; a lesbian terrified of having her baby taken away from her; a man arrested for chatting up another man in a public toilet; a young person wanting to know how to come out. These logs were traces of tens of thousands of queer lives\, a bridge to a past hidden from people like Tash Walker and Adam Zmith in their youth\, captured by people who lent an ear to those in need. Walker and Zmith came of age in the time of Section 28\, a law which banned councils and schools ‘promoting the teaching of the acceptability of homosexuality as a pretended family relationship’. In recovering these logs\, they encountered people grappling with feelings\, questions and problems both familiar and different. They set out to learn from – and sometimes speak to – people on both sides of the calls. Charged with joy\, gossip\, sensuality\, heartbreak and sometimes fear\, and with a potent relevancy to the world today\, Walker and Zmith have collected these stories in The Log Books. They capture queer lives in stunning detail\, embarking on a journey of both collective history and self -discovery\, propelling it into the foreground of our national history. \n‘Essential reading\, grounded in the past while also explaining the urgency of LGBTQ+ politics today.’TOM RASMUSSEN\, author of Diary of a Drag Queen \n‘Hauntingly beautiful\, this is a testament to the ongoing courage and care so profound in our community. I was enchanted at every page. Completely life – changing.’ DAN GLASS\, author of Queer Footprints \nOUR SPEAKERS: \nTash Walker is a writer\, podcast producer and community organiser who has worked with institutions such as the Barbican\, BBC\, and Queer Britain; they were a member of Switchboard’s board for eight years. \nAdam Zmith is a writer and multi-format producer; his book Deep Sniff: A History of Poppers and Queer Futures won the Polari First Book Prize. He writes theatre shows\, talks and podcasts\, including Press Play Turn On which won Podcast of the Year at the British Podcast Awards 2024. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening.

From there\, it turns to the city’s student movement and its role within a growing global struggle for expression and resistance. Underneath it all runs a deeper thread\, how Germany’s unresolved history of fascism continues to shape its politics today. \nThe event is organised together with MDR building collective members @statewatcheu and @pymbritain\, who will introduce the film by discussing the recent repression of the Palestinian movement in Britain. \nhttps://events.maydayrooms.org/e/77/viva-palastina-reason-of-resistance-film-screening URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/viva-palastina-reasons-of-resistance/ LOCATION:Mayday Rooms\, 88 Fleet Street\, EC4Y 1AE CATEGORIES:Films ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.eroding.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/vivapalastina.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260127T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260127T210000 DTSTAMP:20260501T212314 CREATED:20260106T234128Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260108T142240Z UID:4471-1769540400-1769547600@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:Reading Group 17 – Abolitionist Voices Part Two DESCRIPTION:For our seventeenth reading group we will finish reading Abolitionist Voices\, a compilation edited by David Gordon Scott. From the blurb: Why have so many radical thinkers advocated for the abolition of prisons and punishment? And why have their ideas been so difficult to popularize or garner the political will for change? This book outlines several different approaches to penal abolitionism and showcases their calls for the ending of legal coercion\, domination\, and repression. This exciting and innovative edited collection shows how abolitionist ideas have continued topicality and relevance in the present day and how they can collectively help with devising new ways of thinking about social problems\, as well as suggesting alternatives to existing penal policies\, practices and institutions. \nThis month we will be finishing the book\, reading Part III onward. We normally link to a free online version of what we are reading\, but this month we could not find one. If you would like to join the reading group but can no afford to buy Abolitionist Voices\, please send us an email and we will try and get something sorted for you. Our friends at Freedom Press here kindly offer the space for our use\, visit them for radical books\, news\, and events.

The architecture we inhabit\, particularly those spaces imbued with personal significance\, can evoke powerful emotional responses that find expression in our dreams. In this way\, our built environments not only frame our waking lives but also resonate in the symbolic narratives of our dreams\, revealing the deep connections between the spaces we occupy and the inner workings of our psyche. \nDrawing on the current housing crisis and material conditions of the here and now as well as the feminist libraries archive\, we will be creatively exploring (free) associations to the theme of ‘home’. We invite participants to bring an object from ‘home’ as part of this. \nThis workshop will not be a therapy space\, rather a creative studio space where we can offer materials and time to explore how our inside lives can be thought about and transformed into artmaking\, whatever shape that takes within the group. \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/in-my-room-tickets-1979985926205 URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/workshop-in-my-room/ LOCATION:The Feminist Library\, 161 Sumner Road\, SE15 6JL CATEGORIES:Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://www.eroding.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/inmyroom.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260125T180000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260125T180000 DTSTAMP:20260501T212314 CREATED:20251215T105147Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251216T225846Z UID:3983-1769364000-1769364000@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:TV Cult / Heckle Chamber / Millpool DESCRIPTION:New Cross Live Presents\nTV Cult\nA brutalist\, 80s-inspired blend of hardcore and post-punk — somewhere between Killing Joke\, New Order\, and Black Flag.\nhttps://linktr.ee/tvcult\nHeckle Chamber\nArtful noises from members of Pere Ubu\, Thurston Moore Group and Abstract Concrete\n[www.instagram.com/hecklechamber/]\nMillpool\nSax-infused emotional post-punk\n[www.instagram.com/faithfulmillpool/]\nSunday 25th January\nNew Cross Inn\n£12\nDoors 6pm\n14+\, u16s with an adult 18+\nhttps://pit.live/events/tv-cult URL:https://www.eroding.org.uk/event/tv-cult-heckle-chamber-millpool/ LOCATION:New Cross Inn\, 323 New Cross Rd\, SE14 6AS CATEGORIES:Gigs ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.eroding.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/3911_image_25th-jan-tv-cult.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20260124T140000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20260124T180000 DTSTAMP:20260501T212314 CREATED:20251215T105146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251222T131709Z UID:3982-1769263200-1769277600@www.eroding.org.uk SUMMARY:56a Infoshop Open DESCRIPTION:Open: Thurs 2-8 / Fri 3-7 / Sat 2-6\n56a Infoshop is a long-term volunteer-run\, 100% unfunded\, DIY social centre in Walworth\, South London since 1991.
