About the performers

Sharon Kivland is an artist and writer. Her work considers what is put at stake by art, politics, and psychoanalysis. She is currently working on the natural form, of course. She has been called a poet, nine times to date, much to her surprise. She is also an editor and publisher, the latter under the imprint Ma Bibliothèque. For No Matter, she continues the revelation of her love affair with the psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, through extracts from the fourth collection of his love letters to her.

NJ Stallard is a writer, editor and poet. Her work has been featured in publications such as Hotel, Ambit, The White Review, Tank and an upcoming anthology of science fiction by Whitechapel Gallery and MIT Press. She was the winner of the Aleph Writing Prize 2018.

Aurelia Guo is a writer and research student based at City, University of London. She is the author of the chapbooks 2016 (After Hours Ltd, 2016) and NYT (Gauss PDF, 2018).

No Matter is an inclusive & queer-friendly, feminist space. The Castle event space is on the ground floor of the building. However, there is a small step to the entrance of the building and there is currently no accessible bathroom. We are keen to work around these obstacles to make our events more accessible to those facing mobility and disability barriers: please do get in touch with us and let us know if there are things that we can do (for example, by reserving seating).
