About
The annual Swedenborg Birthday Lecture will be taking place on the afternoon of Saturday 23 January 2016.
The event will open with a preview screening of Jacob Cartwright & Nick Jordan's new short film Last Acre (11 mins), a documentary portrait centred on a remote settlement of self-built shed and cabin homes, located on the sand dunes of England’s north west coastline, near Barrow-in-Furness.
Followed by speeches from Devin Zuber, Assistant Professor of American Studies, Literature and Swedenborgian Studies at the Pacific School of Religion (Berkeley, CA); the academic and poet Ian Hunt, who is Lecturer in Fine Art, Critical Studies at Goldsmiths University; and the author Ken Worpole, Emeritus Professor at London Metropolitan University, with whom we recently published New Jerusalem: the good city and the good society.
The afternoon will herald the theme for our programme next year, which is Topographies and there will be a panel discussion on the influence of Swedenborg and Swedenborgianism on environmentalism, architecture and town planning.
Refreshments will be avalible throughout the event.
