[strange attractor events]
A collaborative seasonal event from Strange Attractor, Dreamflesh and
Liminal Nation at the wonderful Horse Hospital. Come celebrate with us
for a night of focussed high strangeness with talks, music and
remembrance.
Three initial presentations will consider the ayahuasca art of Pablo
Amaringo (Donal Ruane), encounters with death on DMT (David Luke) and
a visionary exploration of Northern England's rock art (Gyrus),
followed by a Q & A. South London sorcerer Stephen Grasso will then
guide us over the crossroads and through the veil of night, carried by
the transcendental sounds of the Raagnagrok All-Stars (every man and
every woman is an all-star) featuring Allison Brice (electric
dulcimer), Zali Krishna (guitar/effects), and Mark Pilkington (synth
and electronics).
A key focus for the night will be an altar of our lost cultural icons
and inspirations - please bring images and offerings of the lost
people, animals and places who have guided and informed you through
your life thus far.
There will be talks, discussion, performance, music, magic, stalls and
fun late into the night. We expect the event to be quite busy, so
reserving a place in advance is advised - you can do this via the DOTD
web site.

Medical London: City of Diseases, City of Cures
by Richard Barnett. Edited by Mike Jay
Published by Strange Attractor Press in association with Wellcome
Collection
For two thousand years, health and sickness have danced across, above
and below the city's streets, defining London life in the process.
Medical London charts the many roles that diseases, treatments and
cures have played in the city's sprawling story, and reveals how
London, in turn, has shaped the professions and practices of modern
medicine. In doing so, it guides its readers on their own journey
through the city's streets and landmarks, and resurrects the vanished
traces of its past.
Advance copies of Medical London are currently on sale at Blackwells,
183 Euston Road, but are disappearing fast! Further copies will hit
bookshops in mid-November, while the book has been made Radio 4 Book
of the Week for the first week of December.
