Sunday Read with Index Teen Advisory Board 26/27
3 May 2026–31 January 2027

Sunday Read is a reading circle organized together with Index Teen Advisory Board. It is open to everyone aged 16–21 who wants to read and discuss texts relating to art’s role in society.

Each session introduces different kinds of texts; essays, artists’ writings, exhibition texts, and art theory. Those participating read aloud together and discuss the texts as a group. This year, the focus is on texts that engage with language, accessibility and tools for inclusion and diversity. Are you curious? Do you know someone who might be interested? Please spread the word! No prior knowledge is required.
