In 2019, Galliano frontman Rob Gallagher published The Dancefloors of England, ruminating on clubs and dancefloors as a way of discovering what happens in these spaces.
Poet, choreographer, critic and performer Oluwaseun (Seun) Olayiwola is the author of Strange Beach (Fitzcarraldo).
Belinda Zhawi, aka MA.MOYO, is a literary and sound artist born in Zimbabwe and based in south-east London. She is the author of the pamphlet Small Inheritances and co-founder of literary arts platform BORN::FREE.
