Obsolete Spells and Neon Hieroglyphs

For over 20 years, Strange Attractor has produced remarkable, beautifully-designed, deeply-informed books from its small studio in East London. Come celebrate their endeavours with a programme of readings and performances from new and forthcoming Strange Attractor publications.

See Turner Prize-winning artist Tai Shani deliver a performance reading from her new book, The Neon Hieroglyph. Writer and BFI curator William Fowler shares the strange tale of painter, decorator and mystic Joseph Dehavilland, who created a sensation when he was crucified on Hampstead Heath in the 1960s. Historian Phil Baker explores Victorian and Edwardian London through the eyes of occultist Aleister Crowley; while Justin Hopper and musician Sharron Kraus will discuss mystic and poet Victor Neuburg and perform his poems, set to music, and visuals by Wendy Pye.
