Rethinking Humanism
Ibraaz93 Mortimer Street, London
Tomorrow · 18:00
About this event
What can we make of humanism’s complex legacies in the face of critiques that centre its complicity with racism, sexism, colonialism, and anthropocentrism? Can – and should – any variety of humanism be salvaged in the struggle for a just world? This conversation will explore how humanism might be reimagined and reworked for the present while taking stock of its eugenic past. Join us for a thought-provoking evening with writer Paul Gilroy and anthropologist Ayça Çubukçu – moderated by Lola Olufemi – that moves beyond easy answers.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar talks still playing in London this week.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other London rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (talks) in London. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
