bigideas

What did the baby boomers ever do for us? May’s Big Ideas event will be an anarchic May ‘68 special, invoking the spirit of Woodstock and the Sorbonne and casting aside our usual format for a looser, more open-ended approach in which we might cover anything: postmodernism, pop music, radicalism, art, libertarianism, situationism, psychogeography, deconstruction, the swinging sixties, skepticism, cynicism and the whole modern cultural and political landscape. So there’s a lot to get through, but this time there’s no speaker and no agenda. Try not to throw any cobblestones; the landlord doesn’t like it. Don’t worry, like good soixante-huitards we’ll be back to our usual format next month. As usual, the venue will be upstairs inThe Wheatsheaf in London on Tuesday 27 May from 7.30, starting at around 8 (or whenever the food arrives). As usual, admission is free, open to anyone and you don’t need to know anything about the subject to turn up.
