'It is essential that you never align yourself to a recognised/serious thinker. Your open affiliation will lead ONLY to acceptance – possibly even the invitation to join a faction – or, in the worst-case scenario: take part in a symposium' -- The Debrist Manifesto, Scott King.

A new book reading/live performance by Scott King cultivated from his recent publication The Debrist Manifesto; a term created by the author to describe his ongoing embracement of 'failure' and the 'excitement and potential' that it can generate. King adopts the position of the cultural raconteur, responding to various scenarios outlined in the manifesto to ensure failure and maintain the core principles of Debrism: 'Failure is success in art (and life). Desire is everything.

For the safety of all attendees, please note that proof of a negative lateral flow test within the preceding 48 hours will be required upon entry to this event.

With special thanks to Richard Massey and International General.
