As part of our collaboration with Tills Bookshop on the Readers of Edinburgh competition, we are delighted to be hosting a session of the bookshop's regular Bookless Bookclub for this year's READERS.
We will be choosing the texts with our usual focus on photography and visual culture and, as per their usual format, there is no prior reading to be done before the meet-up! We will all read it together on the day and then wrangle, discuss and unpick the texts afterwards as a group. No Homework Required!

READERS - is the semi-regular AGITATE bookclub focusing on photography and visual culture. Created by Mayanne Soret and now facilitated by Kat Gollock and Christina Webber, it seeks to be accessible, regardless of academic background, and to create a space that feels safe and comfortable enough to read and discuss a text even if (and especially if!) you've struggled with its content.
The Bookless Bookclub - there’s nothing to read in advance. A facilitator brings a constellation of short texts — fiction, poetry, theory, song lyrics, visual art — and we read them together, in the room. Then we talk about them.
That’s it. No preparation, no homework, no book purchase, and no prior knowledge required. We turn up, we sit together, we read together, we discuss together.
It’s free to attend, and open to anyone.
This event is a part of a Season of Photography 2026 - a celebration of photography in Scotland running from 1 September – 20 December 2026
