Room change LG48
No Exit by Sartre

Edinburgh Uni will be coming into this session to take photos for promotional purposes (we get the room for free under their community access programme). If anyone doesn't want their photo taken that will be accommodated.

Nothing special needs done, they want genuine photos of room users using the rooms. The email from the Uni is at the end of the description for this event.

From wiki:

No Exit (French: Huis clos, pronounced [ɥi klo]) is a 1944 existentialist French play by Jean-Paul Sartre. The play was first performed at the Théâtre du Vieux-Colombier in May 1944. The play centers around a depiction of the afterlife in which three deceased characters are punished by being locked into a room together for eternity. It is the source of Sartre's especially famous phrase "L'enfer, c'est les autres" or "Hell is other people", a reference to Sartre's ideas about the look and the perpetual ontological struggle of being caused to see oneself as an object from the view of another consciousness.

We usually head to the pub after our discussion.

We're a group that welcomes all, young, old, completely new to philosophy or well versed, students to those who've never darkened the door of a lecture. And you don't have to have been coming from the start of our long reads. It can be helpful, but also don't feel you can't dive in at some point along the way!

Locations ongoing:
LG48 for this weds coming (16 July).
Will be changed for 23 July, 30 July & 6 August as well but awaiting update on which room being moved to.
Rest til 3 Sept back to 1.27 patersons land

Email from Ed Uni

Hi Tali and all,
We are hoping to have some photography done for Community Access to Rooms. This would be to build a small bank of images we can use for internal, and occasional external, publications such as our Community Plan. We are hoping to this next week, on the 16 July.
Would you and your group be interested in taking part? It would involving having our photographer pop in during your regular session to photograph you in the room while you are there. You wouldn’t need to do anything special or change anything you are doing – we are looking for genuine photos of our room users and the various ways they use the room. We are also happy to accommodate any specific requests (for example if one or more members don’t want to be identifiable or photographed at all). We would of course be happy to share the photos with you afterwards.
Please do let me if you would be interested in taking part!
All the best,
Petra
