Immerse in an hour of con-text-ual chaos! Curated by Shaiful Risan (Erasure, Post Punk, Another Way Social Centre and B.A.C.A.), MEET & READ is a gritty imagination of what a literary event could look like. Rooted through the optics of punk rock, this intentionally-vaguely-described event presents a smattering of punk literature, old zines, books and original writings and even a few letters and cassette tape inserts; all of which are open to reading–either to yourself or aloud.

The programme also includes an open mic segment where attendees are welcome to read their original works (or an excerpt of any selected work) and guest speakers at 7pm each night:

• 4 Dec: Michael Chua (Maid In Singapore)

• 5 Dec: Steve Lodge (The Hall of The Shepherd's Pie)

This programme is part of "we are not going back, we are coming around", The Substation's programme for Proposals for Novel Ways of Being.
