This event is cancelled. We are hoping for a new occasion soon.

The events bring together two recent books, Tillbaka till underjorden (Back to the underground) by Anna Gavanas, Anna Östöm and It’s a London Thing by Caspar Melville to centre spatial histories, autonomous designing and social production that often goes overlooked in mainstream accounts of these musical cultures.
