Forward from Amy Balkin>>> Hi friends,
I'm organising an artist-led reading project to take place in Manchester next month. The project is a collaborative public reading of the most recent volume of the 2007 IPCC Fourth Assessment Report: Mitigation of Climate Change, which will be read aloud eight hours a day over the three days of the Futuresonic festival (May 14-16). I'm writing to invite you to participate by reading for 20 minutes, or to pass this invitation on to others you think may be interested. There will be 72 20-minute 'slots' available - please sign up online at www.tomorrowmorning.net/readingIPCC if you'd like to take part. The reading will take place in Manchester, but the exact location is still TBD. I will be there the entire time, helping to coordinate the readings, and reading some of the time. I'm currently seeking readers, and am hoping you'll pass this email on to people in Manchester who may be interested; such as people concerned about the IPCC process and climate change, library reading groups, and people interested in durational, public, and collaborative reading. I've attached the Call For Readers below, which has more information about the project. Email me if you have any questions, or suggestions for people or groups in Manchester I should contact. Many thanks, Amy – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – Call For Readers Reading the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report / A Collaborative Public Reading / May 14-16, 2009 / 11AM-7PM / Manchester Organised by Amy Balkin While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)'s reports are revealing documents about the current science and geopolitics of climate change, their length makes them unlikely to be read beyond specific interested readerships. This project attempts to make this document more public through a participatory reading. Volunteers will take part in a structured public reading of the most recent section of the 2007 Fourth Assessment Report, the 800-page Working Group III Report: Mitigation. Participate. The project is currently seeking volunteer readers. You can sign up for one or more 20-minute reading slots at www.tomorrowmorning.net/ readingIPCC (please arrive 5-10 minutes early). It's easy to sign up, or to take your name off the list if you can't make it. When. The reading will take place over three days in Manchester during Futuresonic 2009 from 11am to 7pm, May 14-16, 2009. Where is it? The location is still TBD. Please check the website for the final location. Please send inquiries or questions to [email protected]
