National Year of Reading 2008 - Leicester
http://www.yearofreading.org.uk/
In Leicester the city council through Leicester Libraries are organising promotions and events to celebrate National Year of Reading, including the search for Leicester’s Favourite Book (public nominations opened last week!) and a programme of events running from April - December. We will be promoting NYR through print and e-mail publicity including a dedicated brochure, JC Decaux poster campaign and our library newsletter which currently goes out to over 14,000 people, as well as features in LINK and other local media. You can find more details of NYR reading on the library website or blog:

National Year of Reading is a great opportunity to promote literacy, books and reading in Leicester so we hope that individuals and organisations will help support it. We’ll be sending out more information about NYR over the next few weeks, including publicity deadlines. You can see the websites above or contact me directly for more info. If you have specific ideas for events or other ways of getting involved with NYR please get in touch and of course we’ll be happy help with them where we can.
Many thanks

6.15pm THE THEATRE
Department of Drama
The Department of Drama’s Performance Research Forum and the Digital Studios’ (Department of Computing) Thursday Club are delighted to co-host this special event, a TALK by one of the most original and provocative woman artists working today in what she calls CARNAL ART.
“Unlike ‘Body Art’, from which I set it apart, Carnal Art does not desire pain as a means of redemption, or to attain purification. Carnal Art does not wish to achieve a final ‘plastic’ result, but rather seeks to modify the body, and engage in public debate. Carnal Art is not against cosmetic surgery but, rather against the conventions carried by it and their subsequent inscription, within female flesh in particular, but also male. Carnal Art is feminist, that is necessary. It is interested not only in cosmetic surgery, but also advanced techniques in medicine and biology that question the status of the body and the ethical questions posed by them”
- ORLAN
