Tuesday 25 June
Celebrate the launch of Little Joe: A book about queers and cinema, mostly — a new book, compiled by editor-in chief Sam Ashby — that brings together the cult periodical’s elusive texts and proposes a new, alternative cinematic canon drawn from the fringes of taste and style.
Wednesday 26 June

Saturday 20 July
Join Adam Broomberg for a discussion about Anchor in the Landscape, a book that brings together studied, absorbing portraits of olive trees in Palestine, which act as fixed points in a historic and transforming landscape that is constantly disputed, altered, and destroyed.

Friday 5 July
Adam Broomberg and Rafael Gonzalez will be signing copies of Anchor in the Landscape, a book that depicts the olive tree as a symbol of occupation and resistance in Palestine, bearing witness to a landscape that is increasingly destroyed.
