📚Translating Metafiction: A Conversation Between Finnish author Riikka Pulkkinen and her translator📚

Thurs, 25th June
7.00pm

In her newly translated novel Enchantment, Finnish author Riikka Pulkkinen weaves a complex story of power, identity, and the fragile boundary between truth and fiction. Join Riikka and her translator Tabatha Leggett in a conversation spanning literary representations of girlhood, the gaze of the camera in art, and the challenges of translating fragmented and metafictional narratives.

📚Culture, politics and pleasure in the single woman's kitchen: The Spinster Cookbook with Eli Davies📚

Tue, 23rd June
7.30pm

The kitchen has always been a complex space for women: a place of labour and gendered expectations, as well as a site of nourishment, care and company. But how does this change when you’re alone, not cooking for family or friends, but simply for yourself? What happens when food is uncoupled from domestic duty and romantic relationships and what it means to cook (or not) for yourself and by yourself.
