SUMMARY:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to begin a new journey as we dive into Elif Shafak’s How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division.   In this timely and powerful manifesto\, Shafak explores how we can maintain our empathy and mental well-being in a world increasingly defined by tribalism and social fragmentation. She challenges us to resist the “politics of fear” and instead embrace plurality\, reminding us that curiosity and the ability to listen are radical acts of resistance in a polarized era.   All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how nurturing our inner resilience and collective compassion is a necessary step toward building a more just and connected world.   Meeting Details Book: How to Stay Sane in an Age of Division by Elif Shafak Date: Monday\, 25 May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery

SUMMARY:Reading Group 21 - Social Anarchism and Organisation
DESCRIPTION:For our twenty first reading group we will be reading Social Anarchism and Organisation by the Anarchist Federation of Rio de Janeiro (FARJ). We also have some additional suggested short readings about Platformism and the arguments around it to go along with the booklet. As FARJ describes the booklet:\nThe first Congress of the FARJ was held with the principal objective of deepening our reflections on the question of organisation and formalising them into a programme. This debate has been happening within our organisation since 2003. We have produced theoretical materials\, established our thinking\, learned from the successes and mistakes of our political practice it was becoming increasingly necessary to further the debate and to formalise it\, spreading this knowledge both internally and externally. The document “Social Anarchism and Organisation” formalises our positions after all these reflections. More than a purely theoretical document\, it reflects the conclusions realised after five years of practical application of anarchism in the social struggles of our people. The document is divided into 16 parts. It has already been published in Portuguese in a book co-published between Faísca and the FARJ. \nA free version of Social Anarchism and Organisation can be found at the Anarchist Library here. While this is the main reading\, the following article/essay length pieces will also be helpful in understanding some of the historical arguments within the anarchist movement that are relevant to Social Anarchism and Organisation:\nOrganisational Platform of the Libertarian Communists – Reflections on what went wrong for anarchism in the Russian Revolution and how to prevent it from happening again\, which would lead to platformist anarchism\nA Reply to the Platform – A response to the above\, which would lead to synthesist anarchism of the kind still championed by the French anarchist federation.\nA Reply to Anarchism’s Confusionists – A plaftformist response to the synthesist critique.\nAbout the Platform – An exchange between Makhno and Malatesta about the platform.\nOur friends at Freedom Press here host the reading group for free\, so please support them by using them for your supply of radical books and zines.\nThe reading group will be meeting on Tuesday the 26th of May\, 19:00\, at Freedom Bookshop\, 84b Whitechapel High St\, London E1 7QX. You are welcome to come and join in the discussion even if you have not finished the reading.

SUMMARY:The Plot is on Fire with MayDay Rooms and Manuela Zechner
DESCRIPTION:Many of the materials from our ecological holdings offer examples of organised attempts to confront ecological crisis through insurgent\, ground-level direct-action. In this spirit\, we invite you to join us in this practical session with Manuela Zechner\, who will share key takes from her new book\, The Plot is on Fire: Care Struggles after Progress\, Plantation and Patriarchy (Pluto 2026) and its chapters on tech and agrarian extractivism\, as well as from the work of the Common Ecologies School on agrarian extractivism and building agroecological counterpower.  \nWe’ll be looking towards toxic tech extractivism and the new digital and data frontiers that capitalism is pushing\, and map some of the forms of resistance we see or imagine springing up around us. How might we resist data centres\, microchip factories\, toxic tech assembly lines\, and mines for rare earths? And how do struggles around water and land intersect with struggles against toxic algorithmic and data harvesting regimes? Bring what you know\, along with what you want to learn about these and other contemporary ecological struggles\, and we’ll take time to map it together and orient it toward a shared horizon.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: THE PLOT IS ON FIRE: Manuela Zechner in conversation with Max Haiven
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to welcome Manuela Zechner to Housmans to talk about her truly original and radical work in postcolonial eco-theory. \nAs myths of progress and modernisation collapse in the relentless polycrisis of our time\, how do we strengthen other plots—in community\, practice and struggle? How do we come together as movements for earthcare? \nThe Plot is on Fire: Care Struggles after Progress\, Plantation and Patriarchy weaves stories\, proposals\, and analyses around a key domain of living reproduction in crisis: agriculture. Looking at peasant\, indigenous\, and transecofeminist practices\, it formulates another plot on how we want to sustain life collectively—beyond progress\, plantation\, and patriarchy. \nRecovering and repurposing old and new technologies\, and breaking down the division between rural and urban\, the ground is made fertile for growing other futures. Alongside writers like Ursula Le Guin and Octavia Butler\, this work of radical political theory raises critical questions about technology and storytelling\, as matters of care and community. \nManuela will be in conversation with Max Haiven author of Palm Oil: The Grease of Empire (Pluto). They will talk for around 45 minutes to an hour followed by a discussion with the audience. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \nIf you choose ‘book +entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95). Telephone 020 7837 4473 or email shop@housmans.com. \nDoors Open at 6:45pm\, Event Starts 7:00

SUMMARY:CLAIMED CHOICE + SLOW FACTION + HEARING TESTS + LETS AV IT
DESCRIPTION:We’re back at the Blue Monk for another exciting date bringing together different variations of Oi\, punk hardcore and associated genres. \nTo headline\, none other that Claimed Choice\, coming over from Lyon (France) and bringing their own take on Oi music. As far as French Oi is concerned\, it is a clear defined genre\, that Claimed Choice take on with a younger and more rock n roll approach\, on the likes of bands such as Grade 2 or the Chisel – making themselves a core contributor of the new wave of skinhead music.\nTo represent our local scene – Slow Faction brings traditional ’77 punk rock to the stage. A band that needs no introduction due to their many years of activity and involvement in the London scene. Fast\, loud\, efficient\, it’s a set you simply cannot miss.\nWe’re following up with 2 more recent and upcoming local talent\, starting with Hearing Tests\, a DIY hardcore punk band from north London\, bringing on some raw antifascist punk to the stage\, with a set of classic hardcore punk that’ll give your neck something to remember the next day.\nFinally to open\, recently created Let’s Av It brings on Oi music with heavy hardcore breakdown\, making a fresh and aggressive take on tradionational Oi. Buckfast\, Fred Perry and very politically infused\, that’s Lets Av It in a nutshell.\nWhat say you London? \nhttps://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/claimed-choice-slow-faction-hearing-tests…

SUMMARY:HOUSMANS POETRY SERIES
DESCRIPTION:INTRODUCING THE FIRST IN OUR POET’S PROSE SEQUENCE We are delighted to welcome two extremely exciting poets to Housmans for the first installment of our Summer Poetry Series. This season we’re going to be doing something a bit different and focusing instead on the work that poets produce outside of ‘traditional’ lyric modes; focusing instead on prose; novels; novellas; novelettes; essays; criticism; chunks of memoir and ‘hybrid’ lumps. \nOpening the series we have two poets whose work (and dual radiant vibe) need very little introduction (to those who’ve been following literary avant-gardes in Britain for the last decade or so): Kirsty Dunlop and Maria Sledmere. Between them they compose the centripetal force of Glasgow’s celebrated post-internet DIY publishing project SPAM and have produced a truly terrifying volume of exceedingly brilliant poetry collections\, scholarly work and experiments. \nAt Housmans they will be discussing their recent experiments in fiction writing: Kirsty’s Centrefolding and Maria’s The Indigo Hours. \nCentrefolding follows an unnamed protagonist who shifts\, sprints\, swerves and transmorphs through the “Centre!” (exclamation mark required)\, a research institute in some northern British city\, in our current jittery moment. Glitches in reality abound: expect research into alien life that goes nowhere\, an underground hospital\, an Entrepreneur-in-Residence\, and ‘lingerers’ slithering under glass doors (you know\, like a worm). Daisy Lafarge says it is her ‘dream novelette: gossipy\, pacy\, and full of gorgeous swerves of language. With enviable wit and inventiveness’. \nThe Indigo Hours is an immersive\, radiant text that moves between autofiction\, essay\, and poetic prose to document the textures of contemporary longing. Centred around a seasonal arc and filtered through the ambient melancholia of late capitalism\, the work refracts emotional experience through media\, memory\, pop culture\, and shifting landscapes—from Berlin pools to prairie towns\, from night buses to art galleries. Sledmere’s sentences are lush\, recursive\, and sensorily attuned\, sustaining a rhythmic\, diaristic lyricism that continually folds the personal into the atmospheric. What emerges is a powerful reckoning with intimacy\, grief\, and temporality at the edges of digital and embodied life. ‘Maria Sledmere tells a post-Romantic tale of moonlit precarity and passion among pools & thunderstorms & prairies & airports…’ says Poppy Cockburn. \nBoth poets will read from their work\, discuss shared ideas\, themes\, feelings and forms. As always with our poetry series\, we encourage you to byob and the spirit of celebration and conversation. If we have time we might engage in a more general conversation on the nature of poetry\, prose and other aesthetic modes gurgling up thru this current zombied epoch of slow collapse and cultural amnesia. (‘Why do all the poets write novels now\, anyway??’ we might ask.) \nThis is a free event\, but we have limited capacity so please do book ahead using the link below. \nShare this:  \n				Share on X (Opens in new window)  \n				X 				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)  \n				Facebook 				Share on Insta (Opens in new window)  \n				Insta  \n			Like this:Like Loading…

SUMMARY:anarkita #6
DESCRIPTION:What does community and solidarity look like in parenthood/childhood? How do we sustain our radicality and best channel rage while parenting? How do we avoid burnout and resist capitalist pressures (e.g. metrics and mandates of success\, productivity\, and happiness)? How\, as parents/carers\, do we practice solidarity with children in an adult-centric society?\n–\n“Being a parent is the most capitalist job\, a friend told me recently when I complained that choosing a school\, or a piano class\, seems like investing in shares. Unless you remain critical and aligned with your values… But how hard is that under so many pressures?! Being a parent can also be the most political job. We are constantly taking political decisions/action\, in our relation to food\, the environment\, plastic toys\, friendship\, death…” says Anca.\n–\n🌈 Every last Saturday of the month\, some of us meet as anarkita to figure out how to raise our kids against and beyond what bell hooks called the imperialist\, white-supremacist\, capitalist cis-normative patriarchy.\n🌱 Join us on our next gathering this coming Saturday\, 30 May\, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM at Mother House Studios: Lewisham\, 47 Slaithwaite Road\, SE13 6DJ –  London.

SUMMARY:Flema + Bucktail + Cut Flowers + Mental Issues + DJ Tony Bugbear
DESCRIPTION:Headcase – full on\, frantic punky indie with a suitably nutty frontman and superb\, committed performances all round. Quite a bit of early Blur in there maybe\, the more visceral end at least – see also the cranked up rhythm n booze end of late seventies stuff like the Hot Rods or even Slaughter and the Dogs. Excellent fun.  \nFlema – We are very pleased to announce tonight a special performance tonight by legendary Argentinian punk band Flema.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: KILL BILLIONAIRE with ANDERS LUSTGARTEN
DESCRIPTION:Kill Billionaire: The Riotous Revenge Caper You’ve Been Waiting for Kill Billionaire is the best sort of political thriller: gripping\, revenge fueled and unapologetically radical in its politics\, discussing climate change and the elite. \nWhen her home is destroyed in wildfires\, fourteen-year-old Australian outback genius Kayla Connolly decides to hunt down the culprits of climate change: billionaires. She teams up with Mr P\, a giant ex-soldier from Tuvalu whose home is being flooded by rising sea levels. Together\, they find ingenious ways to kill a property developer building on protected wetlands and a mining company CEO poisoning the earth with toxic chemicals. They also find an unexpected ally in Nancy\, a wealthy elderly woman with a shocking past. \nThe trio’s mission soon develops a life of its own\, taking them first to California to crack billionaire tech bros and then to London for superrich oil executives\, spawning a global movement along the way. In pursuit are the FBI and Detective Sergeant Kate Anderson of Scotland Yard\, but Kate is having doubts about whether Kayla is even in the wrong. Will Kayla be able to stay ahead of the game and pull off one final\, remarkable hit? \nWe are delighted that Anders Lustgarten has chosen Housmans as the launch pad for this propulsive\, daringly political work of thriller fiction! \nHe will conversation for around 45 minutes to an hour\, followed by a q&a and signing session. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.

SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: 'FLAMBOYANCE' WITH JACK PARLETT
DESCRIPTION:JACK PARLETT IN CONVERSATION WITH AMELIA ABRAHAM Flamboyance is Jack Parlett’s follow up to his acclaimed Fire Island (A Housmans bestseller of 2022). This new book has all the qualities one has come to expect of Jack’s work; big hearted and erudite in equal measure. \nFlamboyance ignites every aspect of our lives\, from art and entertainment to ritual and protest. The word conjures exuberance and unashamed passion; in thought\, expression and dress. Yet historically the term ‘flamboyant’ has been reserved for the over-the-top and the outré\, invoked at times as a pejorative innuendo or worse. \nIn his fascinating new book\, Jack Parlett argues for its value as an empowering and creative force\, illuminating the ways in which flamboyance is a fundamental aspect of human conduct that both marks and transcends difference. \nTaking in an eclectic array of examples\, from Gothic architecture to the orange flowers of Dungeness\, and populated by figures such as Oscar Wilde\, James Baldwin\, Elton John\, Amy Winehouse\, Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan\, this is a book about flamboyant art and the art of flamboyance. And having both aspired to it and rejected it\, Jack recounts his personal relationship to flamboyance while also finding new meanings of the word\, exploring its surprises and contradictions\, and reconnecting with its radical power. \nJack will be joined in conversation with Amelia Abraham. They with be in conversation for around 45 minutes to an hour\, followed by a q&a and signing session. \nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale.

SUMMARY:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:The Brockley Anarchist Reading Club is excited to dive into Bob Black’s infamous anti-work manifesto\, The Abolition of Work. In this provocative text\, Black argues that work is the central source of misery\, oppression\, and social control in the modern world. Moving far beyond traditional leftist demands for “full employment” or better wages\, he advocates for the total destruction of the workplace. Black challenges us to reclaim our lives by transforming necessary production into autonomous\, playful\, and voluntary activity. All are welcome! Whether you are a lifelong anarchist or just beginning your journey\, join us to discuss how breaking free from the cult of productivity is a necessary step toward building a truly liberated world. Meeting Details Book: The Abolition of Work by Bob Black Date: Monday\, 8 May 2026 Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM  Location: The Brockley Brewery
