Cancelled Confessions or Disavowals by Claude Cahun

Camden Art Centre
London NW3 6DG

Overview

With Marcia Farquhar, Juliet Jacques and Susan de Muth

Cancelled Confessions is a rediscovered masterpiece by surrealist writer and queer theorist Claude Cahun, published in English for the first time in twenty years. Described as “a glittering and dissenting semi-lost epic,” this profound text explores themes of identity, art, and resistance. Accompanied by dreamlike photomontages, it offers a kaleidoscope of fragments, including philosophical musings, letters, and fables.

To mark the launch of this work, please join us for an engaging discussion of this visionary work with Marcia Farquhar, Juliet Jacques, and Susan de Muth, which continues to resonate in today’s queer and surrealist discourses.

Organised in collaboration with Thin Man Press.

Free.
