ENDPAPERS READING GROUP: Slaughterhouse Five

15 JULY 12-1:30pm // At Turf // Free & open to all with free refreshments

 

Join us for Turf’s reading group discussing unexpected and unusual texts inspired by our current exhibition.

The book to accompany ‘Last words, so it goes’ will be Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut and ‘Universal Scenarios for Peace’ by Francis Patrick Brady.

‘Slaughterhouse 5’ is a satirical and semi-autobiographical novel covering aspects of WWII (notably the controversial Allied raid on Dresden) and various episodes including time travel and alien abduction. All to the refrain: ‘So it goes’… It is generally recognized as Vonnegut’s most influential and popular work – a post modern masterpiece.

‘Universal Scenarios for Peace’ is a book of questions and instructions which can be used as a participatory game. Pick up your free copy at Turf.

It’s free to join us and take part in the discussions! Free refreshments will also be available.

WORKSHOP CODE:

Turf aims to be a space where all are welcomed & respected. We ask all attendees to align with this spirit when booking and support us in creating a welcoming & collaborative atmosphere together. We ask that everyone is;

  • Kind and respectful in our language and behaviour towards others. Turf is a space which is anti racism, sexism, homophobia and ableism.
  • Considerate of others’ time; allowing others room to speak & engage.
  • Respectful of the space itself as belonging to many people, treating the space & objects with care.
  • Attend wherever possible: In 2023, around 30% of people booking free tickets didn’t turn up! Our free tickets are limited and in high demand. Every person who doesn’t turn up means someone else can’t attend, so please let us know if you can’t make it to free up a space. If you don’t attend twice or more without letting us know, you may be restricted from booking again.
