FORTRESS UK – Closing the door on international artists and academics – Wednesday 17 March
The Home Office’s new points-based visa system has meant thousands of international students unable to start their courses on time, cancelled concerts and lecture series, and the growth of suspicion and surveillance on campus. Come and discuss these new rules – and what we can do about them.
Speakers include: Lisa Appignanesi (English PEN), Manick Govinda (Artsadmin and Manifesto Club), Des Freedman (secretary, Goldsmiths UCU)
Where: Free Word Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London EC1R 3GA
When: 6.30-8 (with wine afterwards)
Free but reservation required: email here.
A Manifesto Club and English PEN event. This event will be the official launch of the Manifesto Club petition against the points-based visa system – we will be delivering it to Downing Street that afternoon.
Sign the petition here.
