Join Tansy Hoskins and Dr Laura Harvey for the launch of Tansy’s brand new book CHARITY SHOP WORLD.

Eventbrite

I'm thrilled to invite you to the launch of my new book Charity Shop World - an investigation into community, consumption and waste. This book has been four years in the making, including sixteen months of working in a charity shop to experience and document sorting through the waste stream.

I'll be In Conversation with Dr Laura Harvey, author of Class - A Graphic Guide, and a briliant analyst working at the intersection of gender, class and popular culture.

Charity Shop World will be on sale at the launch and I'll be signing books till the ink runs out!

[Ticket info: tickets are free unless you'd like to make a donation towards venue hire. In the event of a surplus I will donate it to the Dandora waste picker community in Kenya.]
