summary: Every last Sunday of the month the Varia library and Rotterdam Electronics Depot are open. In this next edition we are reading the text *Neoliberalism with Dutch Characteristics: The Big Fix Up of the Netherlands and the Practice of Embedded Cultural Activism* by [BAVO](https://www.bavo.biz/) (Gideon Boie & Matthias Pauwels) from the book Citizens and Subjects: The Netherlands, for Example : a Critical Reader, edited by Rosi Braidotti, Charles Esche & Maria Hlavajova.


Come and make yourself comfortable, read together with others, browse/exchange/acquire parts from our electronics depot or use the quietness of the day to repair things that need fixing.

Each session of Read & Repair is looking at a different text, sometimes guided by a guest.

In this next edition we are reading the text *Neoliberalism with Dutch Characteristics: The Big Fix Up of the Netherlands and the Practice of Embedded Cultural Activism* by [BAVO](https://www.bavo.biz/) (Gideon Boie & Matthias Pauwels) from the book Citizens and Subjects: The Netherlands, for Example : a Critical Reader, edited by Rosi Braidotti, Charles Esche & Maria Hlavajova.

These sources have been selected by Varia member **decentral1se**, who serendipitously found the reader underneath a discarded imac on the street of Rotterdam.

We will meet this time in the physical space of Varia in Charlois!

------------

**Date**: Sunday 27th September

**Time**: 11:00h - 13:00h

**Location**: Varia, Gouwstraat 3

We are looking forward to practice careful conviviality together again! Physical presences will be protected as much as possible by adopting some security measures: max 12 people are allowed in the space with 1.5 meter distance between them. Hand gel and masks are available.
