SUMMARY:Neneh & Andi: 45 Years of Friendship\, Family and Food
DESCRIPTION:Best friends\, collaborators and confidantes\, broadcaster\, chef and author Andi Oliver and singer-songwriter Neneh Cherry share their memories of lives lived side by side. Friends since 1981\, the pair became instantly close as members of their band\, Rip\, Rig & Panic\, and over the course of four decades they have been through the good and the terrible together - from the births of each other's children to the death of Andi's brother Sean\, their former bandmate and a close friend of Neneh's.\n\nComing from very different backgrounds - Neneh grew up in Sweden and travelled the world with her musician and artist parents\, while Andi grew up in Suffolk - the pair instantly connected\, and their friendship has remained an anchor ever since. Throughout it all\, there was food. Cooking together when they had little money to buy ingredients yet making enough for everyone\; food as a means to connect to their heritages that span Sweden\, West Africa\, Jamaica\, Britain and the US.\n\nThe pair come together to discuss friendship\, family and food in an intimate discussion.\n\nThis event is part of the British Library Food Season (https://events.bl.uk/whats-on/food-season)\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/neneh-andi-45-years-of-friendship-family-and-food-20b23c74-e2d8-4979-b600-770e73d9a115

SUMMARY:Minority Writes: How Queer Books and Bookshops Change the World
DESCRIPTION:Join three leading voices in queer literary history for a celebratory conversation about the books and bookshops that have shaped LGBTQ+ lives.\n\nLayla McCay\, author of The Queer Bookshelf\, and A J West\, author of How Queer Bookshops Changed the World\, come together to explore how\, in the face of government oppression\, media hostility and violence\, queer stories have been written\, published\, sold\, shared and loved\, often against the odds.\n\nFrom back room bookshops and banned paperbacks to award winning novels and mainstream popularity\, this discussion traces how authors and booksellers have helped queer readers find stories that matter both personally\, and in shaping history.\n\nDrawing on global histories\, personal research\, and a love of reading\, Layla and West will discuss the power of queer books and bookshops to reflect different LGBTQ+ experiences through the decades\, to challenge censorship\, and to expand possibilities. The conversation will range across past\, present and future: how queer literature has developed and flourished\, why bookshops have mattered as cultural and political spaces\, and how the way we find queer books still matters - and is evolving.\n\nhttps://www.townspot.co/event/minority-writes-how-queer-books-and-bookshops-change-the-world-1ed873c6-33c8-471d-baf9-3423b4b40a95
