Ancestral: Ella Frears

Reading, Reflecting

Ancestral are excited to host Ella Frears for all your sculptural, nouveau pastoral & confessional needs - be prepared for monumental, bright tenderness on the cusp of summer.

We will be reading together from Shine, Darling (bring your copy/ buy one!) and other sacred texts round the present tense table - specially dressed by ancestral for each occasion - with time for a free-write, enveloped by the moment.

There will be an interval followed by Ella reading and a Q & A.
A snack and a glass of wine/ soft drink are included in the ticket.
Start time 5 pm End time 7 pm
