Sunday Read is a monthly gathering for anyone aged 16–21 who wants to read, think, and talk about contemporary art together. Sunday Read taking its starting point from a group of questions:

What stories shape the art world, and who gets to tell them?
How can writing challenge power, rewrite norms, or make space for what’s missing?
What happens when we talk about art in our own words?

Each session, the group explore different kinds of art-related texts, from poems and short stories to exhibition texts, artists’ writings, and art theory. During the sessions the reading group expands on these concepts: how it works, what it means, and why it matters.

Sunday Read was initiated during spring of 2025.
