A wide range of proposals, from fantastical performances to academic
papers, form a programme of events that respond to the idea of the
Public Lecture, pedagogic experience and the open/ free educational
initiative.

Following from YES. YES. I KNOW. FREE SCHOOL. I KNOW. (Five Years 2009) and taking advantage
of the free use of the Bethnal Green Library Lecture Hall, Five Years/ Ladies of the Press have called for
a wide range of proposals, from fantastical performances to academic papers, to form a programme of
events that respond to the idea of the Public Lecture, pedagogic experience and the open/ free educational
initiative.
This was an open invitation for anyone to propose a participatory activity to be carried out as part of
the programme. What constitutes a ‘Public Lecture’ was freely interpreted and defined by participants.
Participation was free, and all events are open to the public. Each proposed lecture/ performance/
presentation/ paper should be contained within a two hour time slot.
All proposals were accepted* from those submitted and invited. ALL submitted proposals are presented
throughout the duration of the Programme as part of a Reading Room Archive situated in the Lecture
Hall. Material, documentation enquiries and correspondences accrued throughout LECTURE HALL. FREE
SCHOOL. will also be available and form the basis of the Archive. A publication (published by Five Years
and Ladies Of The Press, Edited by Edward Dorrian, Ana Čavić, Renée O’Drobinak ) will be published
utilizing archive material and contributions made by participants (all rights reserved) as part of an on-
going archiving project TEXT/BOOK.
LECTURE HALL. FREE SCHOOL is an unfunded project. Neither Five Years nor Ladies of the Press are
financially supported by any funding body. Bethnal Green Library’s support is entirely in kind and in no
way contributes to the material and financial support of any proposed work.
