Creative writing tutor Dr Alycia Pirmohamed will be in conversation with JC Niala in this free Zoom event on Tuesday 31st March 2026, 7 to 8pm, UK time.
JC is a writer, historian and artist who says she see herself as a “‘delight merchant,' tirelessly weaving connections and hoping others find joy in them too”. Her work includes nature writing, poetry, and writing for theatre, film and children.
She will be talking about her new book, The New Eden: Wildlife in the city, and discovering our shared home which combines memoir, cultural analysis, and natural history. In it she celebrates city life and asks what we are missing by overlooking nature in the everyday - and, by doing so, offers a powerful vision of the future where we can all co-exist.
