Reading Rhythm Club

It was a real honour to document selected events from the 2024 Reading Rhythms curriculum, founded and organised by Julia Wilhelm and Senka Milutinović.

Reading Rhythmus Club is an experimental reading group that works with a range of collaborators to host communal learning sessions which embrace tangents and discussion. Within RRC, reading is approached in a playful manner, and collective learning is favoured over the idea of gaining 'mastery' of a text. RRC provides resources and spaces of exchange to collectively make sense of the world around us and understand how the often violent infrastructures we constantly navigate are shaped. Together, we ask what possibilities for refusal there are and how we can create alternatives together.

From the 2024 RRC curriculum, an impressive publication emerged: Why Read Together? On Companions, Co-conspirators, and Breathing Words, published by HumDrum Press and crafted by Reading Rhythms Club.
