Join the 2026 New Commissions Writers for a panel discussion marking the launch of five new texts of cultural criticism, with Anoushka Coutler, Rahul Hendriksen, Ruby Macomber, Kieran Mclean, and Roro.

At the beginning of the programme, the writers were asked this question. After a year of reading, discussion, research, writing and editing, they return to it together. What would they say now?

Following the panel, stay for drinks, conversation and to pick up a copy of the printed collection.

This programme is presented with the support of our strategic partner the Chartwell Trust.
