<p>Greetings,<br>
<br>
In what continues to be a turbulent and unsettling political times
– marked by intensifying crises, hardening borders, and shrinking
horizons – we want to hold open spaces for conversation,
imagination, and collective thinking. The Minor Compositions
podcast has always been about thinking together with authors whose
work helps us name the present and sketch possible futures. We’re
very happy to invite you to the next three live podcast recordings
– conversations with authors about their recent books. These
sessions are open, informal, and participatory. If you would like
to join, listen in, and take part in the discussion, you are
warmly welcome. All sessions begin at 7PM UK Time.<br>
<br>
<b>23 February, 7PM – <i>Black Surrealist. The Legend of Ted
Joans</i> </b><br>
With Steven Belletto. A conversation on the life and radical
imagination of Ted Joans, Black surrealism, and the power of
poetic insurgency – an exploration of how art and refusal open
unexpected lines of flight. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<b>9 March, 7PM – <i>Communist Ontologies. An Inquiry into the
Construction of New Forms of Life</i></b><br>
With Bruno Gullì & Richard Gilman-Opalsky. A discussion on
ontology and communism as living questions: how new forms of life
might be constructed within and against the constraints of the
present. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
<b>30 March, 7PM – <i>Fables of Re-enchantment. Multiplicity,
Imaginary, Revolution</i></b><br>
With Stefania Consigliere. A conversation about multiplicity, the
imaginary, and re-enchantment — and how revolutionary energies can
emerge from storytelling, collective imagination, and renewed
relations to the world. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<br>
In difficult times, we believe it matters to gather – even
virtually – to think together, to test ideas, to disagree
generously, and to cultivate moments of hope and intellectual
solidarity. We hope these conversations can offer not only
analysis, but also sparks of possibility.<br>
