IN UTERO: Carol Watts & Marianne Morris at Parasol Unit, 23rd June, 7.30pm, £3 / £1.50
Surrounded by skeletal battle soldiers, the defiled, unnerved and dissected on the walls, we will gather for Carol Watts' talk on craniality, political economy and memory, followed by Marianne Morris' poems-with-beats for which we will utilise the gallery's wall to wall sound system. There will be free drinks in the interval & a handmade hand out called 'Interior Ears' for everyone. There will also be a tower of eyeballs.
