📚 READING EDINBURGH · 2024/25 ESALA Projects Residency Closing Event
Tue 16 December, from 6pm
BOOK—SPACE, 20–22 Chambers Street
As BOOK—SPACE residency draws to a close, I’d like to gather once more in this small room that has held communal readings, conversations and quiet experiments. What began as a way to think with books and with the city became a temporary commons for anyone who stepped inside.
For the final event, I’m returning to something simple. Come and share a memory of the place where you read best in Edinburgh, or where the city once held that space for you. The bench that’s gone, the café that changed hands, the corner of a library that no longer exists. These traces, present or lost, shape how we read the city as we move through it.*
This is an analogue and free evening, a welcome pause in December’s commercial noise. My only offering is wine, with Polish gingerbread, leftover bookmarks, a few tunes and unhurried conversation. A gentle way to close the residency.
* ) If you’ve followed the early outline of Reading Edinburgh, the map of bookshops, libraries and quiet corners, this is its companion moment. A chance to share the places that shape how we read before BOOK—SPACE closes its doors.
