We warmly invite you to join us in celebrating the launch of the latest Offline Samizdat.

This issue brings together creative minds from all over our globe to share interpretations of the theme: REASONS.

Also on display for you to explore will be our archive of past themes and contributors from METAPHOR and DISCIPLINE.

Up for discussion will be the new theme: MODEL. We look forward to meeting curious future collaborators with fresh ideas.

Guiding us on a journey of aural delights will be past, current and future Offline Contributors Moon Wheel, Marie Dior and Adel Akram.

Our resident writer Simon Ward will be performing a special reading of a previously unspoken work at 10.30pm.

We hope you can join us!
