Join us for the first look at Tareq Baconi’s urgent new political treatise, What Now: On Palestine, Freedom, and Our Global Future and the paperback launch of Ta-Nehisi Coates’ international bestseller, The Message - where both writers will be in conversation with Nesrine Malik (The Guardian, Equator).

They will discuss the struggle for justice in Palestine, its global ramifications and strategies for decolonisation in the 21st century.

On Freedom will take place as part of our ongoing guest curation with the Southbank Centre and will be part of the London Literature Festival. Tickets are available from the Southbank Centre here.
