SUMMARY:BOOK LAUNCH: 'Cities Made Differently' by DAVID GRAEBER & NIKA DUBROVSKY
DESCRIPTION:We are honored to be welcoming Nika Dubrovsky to Housmans on December 6th to celebrate the publication of a marvelous new text\, co-written with the late David Graeber\, called Cities Made Differently. Joining Nika in conversation will the inimitable organiser and writer James Schneider.  \n\n\n\nFull of playful graphics\, provocative questions\, and curious facts\, this book asks what makes a city and how we might make them differently. \n\n\n\nWhat makes a city a city? Who says? Drafted over decades out of a dialogue between artist and author Nika Dubrovsky\, the late anthropologist David Graeber\, and Nika’s then four-year-old son\, this delightful and provocative book Cities Made Differently opens a space for invention and collaboration. Fusing anthropology\, literature\, play\, and drawing\, the book is essentially a visual essay that asks us to reconsider our ideas about cities and the people who inhabit them. Drawing us into a world of history and myth\, science and imagination\, Graeber and Dubrovsky invite us to rethink the worlds we inhabit—because we can\, and nothing is too strange or too wonderful to be true. \n\n\n\nWith inspired pictures and prompts\, Cities Made Differently asks what a city is\, or could be\, or once was. Sleeping at the bottom of the ocean? Buried in lava? What were those cities of long ago\, and what will the cities of the future be? They might be virtual\, ruled by AI\, or islands of beautiful architecture afloat in seas of greenery. They might be utopian places of refuge or refugee camps as far as the eye can see. On land\, underground or aloft\, excavated or imagined\, cities\, this book tells us in provocative and funny ways\, can be anything we want them to be—and what we want them to be can tell us something about who we are\, what it is to be human\, and what’s possible when we make way for wonder. \n\n\n\nPlease feel free to bring your own drinks. We look forward to seeing you and contemplating together what a city is\, and what it could be\, and honoring the memory of our lost and much loved comrade David.  \n\n\n\nAdvanced booking strongly recommended.  \n\n\n\nAs always\, tickets are priced on a sliding scale. If you are unable to pay for a ticket please do not hesitate to contact us at shop@housmans.com\, and a free ticket will be made available. \n\n\n\nIf you choose ‘book + event entry’ your copies of the book will be available to collect on the evening. If you would like to collect it earlier\, or arrange for delivery\, please contact us (postage is £2.95).
