The programme for each weekly episode of the conference will be announced here, on Heart of Glass’ twitter account and via the eventbrite.
Register via Eventbrite to receive conference updates via email and to share any access needs with us. You only need to register once over the 4 weeks to be kept up to date.
Due to the unruly nature of the programme and our rolling open call, announcements may only arrive 24 hours before each episode. Y’know there’s stuff going on in the world, we have child care, disability mutual aid to organise, dogs to cuddle and racism to deal with on top of doing this. Smiley emoji. Grateful emoji. Rage emoji.
