ANTI-UNIVERSITY NOW! FESTIVAL
Join us in a collaborative experiment to revisit and reimagine the Anti-University, inspired by topics from Black power to feminism, dragons to anti-psychiatry, and many others.
The Anti-University was a movement in the late 1960s based in Rivington Street, Shoreditch. It included iconic figures such as C.L.R James, Stokely Carmichael, R.D. Laing and Stuart Hall who wanted to break people out of the roles they were forced into by institutions like schools, universities, and hospitals. The Anti-University wanted to allow people to meet each other without forcing them to act out roles. They believed that this would expose the terrible reality of modern life, in which nobody really knew anyone, and spark a revolution.
Despite being short-lived and mostly shrouded in mystery, the Anti-University continues to capture the imagination of anyone interested in alternative education, self-organisation, non-hierarchical structures and radicalism.
