Ulna’s book club meets on the last Monday morning of the month to discuss books about artists and making art.

This month we will read Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency by Olivia Laing and discuss over tea, coffee, and snacks.

Our hope is to create a community event with a discussion around the book and what it brings up for us as artists.

“In the age of Trump and Brexit, every crisis is instantly overridden by the next. The turbulent political weather of the twenty-first century generates anxiety and makes it difficult to know how to react. Olivia Laing makes a brilliant, inspiring case for why art matters more than ever, as a force of both resistance and repair. Art, she argues, changes how we see the world. It gives us X-ray vision. It reveals inequalities and offers fertile new ways of living.”
