Euphoria Book Club
Aurelia St Clair and Torika Bolatagici
After watching Euphoria, check out the books that inspired and complement the work. City of Melbourne Libraries are filling the shelves of a pop-up book nook in the Melbourn Town Hall foyer, with books curated by Euphoria filmmaker Julian Rosefeldt.
Alongside the nook, RISING will host two book clubs on Tuesday 6 June and Tuesday 13 June, 6- 8pm, at the Melbourne Town Hall. Books are inspired by the themes of Euphoria, and Book Club is supported by City of Melbourne Libraries. Places are limited and bookings are essential.
