Reading Group: Reading the City – Jameel Arts Centre

The Jameel Library Reading Groups return with Reading the City, a new series that delves into the unique character of urban life across the globe. Over the course of four sessions, participants will engage with short texts that spotlight different cities, following thematic threads and examining contemporary literature reflecting urban spaces. The series will be conducted in English and led by Tamreez Inam.

To learn more about each session please follow the links below:

Session 1: A City’s ‘Message’

Session 2: Home and Belonging in the Gulf

Session 3: Cities Within Cities – Everyday Life, the Mundane, and the Banal

Session 4: Utopia or Dystopia – Imagined Cities

Reading groups are free and open to all. Registration is required, as space is limited. Registered participants are expected to commit to all the sessions and reading material, attend the session they have registered for, and contribute to a respectful and open discursive environment.
