Dear Anthropology Matters,
Following on from my earlier email please find attached a leaflet for the
Upstairs@ the Royal Anthropological Institute documentary screenings series
running during the ESRC Festival of Social Science.
Like the Art of Remembering event these screenings are designed for people
new to anthropology. You are of course extremely welcome to come but I would
also be very grateful if you could circulate to non-anthropology friends,
family, colleagues etc...
Space is limited so advance booking preferred. To book a free place, please
email Gem on [log in to unmask], 0207 387 0455.
All screenings are held at 50 Fitzroy Street, London, W1T5BT. The RAI is on
the corner where Fitzroy Street meets Warren Street and next to the French
Theatre bookshop.
