Everyone is welcome to take part in Picnic Reading on Saturdays during the Permission Slip exhibition at soft shell. Each Picnic Reading will centre on a text or activity suggested by a Permission Slip artist.
The content will vary each week, but most Picnic Readings will take place on Groundsheets / Daybeds by Raewyn Martyn, which the reading group will carry and set up together in a weather-appropriate location near the gallery.
If the weather is good, the Picnic Reading will depart from soft shell by 11:05am and return around midday. Soft shell will be closed while we are out. If the weather is bad, the Picnic Reading will happen inside.
Feel free to stay on (or join in) afterwards at the gallery for shared lunch and social digestion of the content.
