To mark English PEN's 100th birthday, we're launching Common Currency: Celebrating 100 years of English PEN – an 18-month celebration of freedom of expression, creative campaigning, and the best literature the world has to offer. 

Today, on International Women’s Day, we’re thrilled to announce the first Common Currency event – a conversation with Rebecca Solnit, activist and author of Men Explain Things to Me and The Mother of All Questions

Rebecca will be discussing her new book, Recollections of My Nonexistence, with Leena Norms, and a book signing will take place after the event. 

Presented in partnership with New Writing North, the literature development organisation for the North of England, and Tyneside Cinema

"Literature knows no frontiers, and should remain a common currency between nations in spite of political or international upheavals."
The PEN Charter

Our Common Currency programme will take on three themes inspired by the PEN charter: celebrating extraordinary womenfree speech and democracy, and languages and ideas crossing borders

We hope you can join us for our first event with the extraordinary Rebecca Solnit, and we’ll release more nationwide events soon, so stay tuned! 

All the best, 

The English PEN Team

Common Currency is supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
