About this Event

Join a welcoming community of adult learners engaging with classic ‘art school’ texts from major figures in contemporary art.

At each session we will discuss a section of a seminal work, covering current and wide-ranging topics to inspire, in a relaxed social space.

In this session we will explore Donna Haraway’s A Cyborg Manifesto: Science, Technology, and Socialist-Feminism in the Late Twentieth Century. Touching on fundamental contradictions in feminist theory, and the merging of machines and organisms, we will unpick Haraway’s depiction of the cyborg together.

Tickets include: a copy of the selected section of the text and a complimentary drink.


About After Hours

Expand your creative skills in a lively, social space. Join a welcoming community of adult learners engaging in thoughtful, alternative approaches to art and discussion.

Modern Art Oxford’s After Hours series includes regular making sessions in the studio, a book club, and an opportunity to connect with artists, writers and curators to learn key industry skills from the Modern Art Oxford team, to support your emerging practice.
