Join us to celebrate the publication of Get Rid of Meaning: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Writing #4, hosted by Donna the First!
Please note the venue of this event has changed! Due to SET Social closing for the foreseeable, we have decided to make our Summer Party an outdoor BBQ at Kaiya’s house. There will be a sausage sizzle, a £3 bar, and if it's hot, we’ll get the pool out! <3
LOOK HERE FOR: BLOOD BOILING, WHAT DEBT DOES, SEEING PURPLE, A PING-PONG BALL BENEATH THE RUBBLE, PSYCHOPOLITICS, ALIEN GOO, A ROD UP YOUR ASS, STONE SUMMONING FORTH, A MIRACLE, & THE BEGINNING OF THE END.
Get Rid of Meaning: A Journal of Interdisciplinary Writing is a biannual periodical by Sticky Fingers Publishing, exploring how and where meaning is produced, maintained and distributed. Through its first three issues, Get Rid of Meaning has become a site for interrogating the material conditions and affective systems of meaning-making, and strategies for surviving an intentionally nonsensical political landscape, through experimental non-fiction. This fourth issue builds on this by uncovering forms and methods of fugitive knowledge, features contributions from Alberto Álvarez, e v, Florence Hannah Evans, Lucy Petersen, Mark Sauter, mars k margetson, and teresa amrita braggs.
The evening will be hosted by Donna The First. Expect painfully long party games, and hot-off-the-press publications available on the night.

Access info
The event will be taking place outside. There will be mixed outdoor furniture, including benches and sun loungers. There is step free access into the yard where the party will be taking place, but please note the concrete is uneven. There is no step free access to the toilets inside, and doorways are narrow. There will be no parking onsite during the event.
The toilet is accessed through the disused mortuary and is not gendered.
If it's hot, we might put up the large paddling pool. This is a trans centred party and you should wear or not wear whatever you like – but please note parts of the yard are visible to neighbours! There will be somewhere more private for getting changed.
You will be able to come and go, and fidgeting, moving and stimming is welcome. The capacity of the live event is 80 and there will be no social distancing or masking in place. Our access crate will be available throughout the event. There will be flash photography.
For remote access, a recording of the event will be broadcast on our radio show Sticky Fingers in your Ears. Keep an eye on our Instagram for details.
